Clarity. Growth. Support.
Lupine Works
Strong roots. Clear numbers. Sustainable growth.
Hi! I’m Marie,
Lupines enrich soil, strengthening what’s under the surface so everything around them can thrive. Lupine Works is built on the same principle: strong systems create sustainable growth.
I specialize in bookkeeping and operational systems for farmers, market vendors, and food-based businesses. After a season selling at the Fort Collins Farmers Market, I saw firsthand that these businesses don’t operate on simple, predictable revenue cycles, but rather seasons, events, shifting inventory, and variable cash flow.
Working a market booth showed me how much vendors carry: managing inventory, staffing, sales tax, and daily reconciliation while still serving customers and growing their business.
Beyond clean books and accurate reporting, I’m familiar with Square POS systems, market sales tracking, and the operational rhythms of small food businesses. I also bring three years of experience in SNAP Outreach and currently work in community food access in Northern Colorado.
Equitable food access matters deeply to me. I’m passionate about supporting produce and food vendors in understanding how EBT payment systems function, how to track them accurately, and how to build systems that make participation sustainable.
Fluent in Spanish, I’m proud to offer services in both English and Spanish, and my goal is simple: build clear, reliable infrastructure behind your business so you can focus on sustainable growth.
