Helping business owners get organized without the shame spiral
Helping business owners get organized without the shame spiral
Shining Light LLC was created to help small business owners bring order to the business side of things — especially when the books are behind, the records are scattered, or an insurance premium audit is coming up.
I know how overwhelming it can feel when paperwork starts piling up, and you are not even sure where to begin. My goal is to make the process feel clearer, calmer, and a whole lot more manageable.

Hi, I’m LaToya Cofer.
Hi, I’m LaToya Cofer.
I’m the founder of Shining Light LLC, and I help small business owners clean up their books, organize their records, and prepare for insurance premium audits with practical support and no judgment.
My background is a little different than what people usually expect in this space, and honestly, that is part of what makes this business work.
I have an MBA in Accounting and professional experience as a Premium Insurance Auditor, where I’ve worked with records across workers’ compensation, general liability, and liquor liability policies. That experience taught me how businesses are evaluated during insurance premium audits and which records, payroll details, and documentation really matter.
Why My Approach Feels Different
Before this work, I spent over a decade in mental health, eligibility, and outreach, including years as a Qualified Mental Health Professional. That experience shaped how I work with people just as much as my financial background did.
It taught me how to:
stay calm when someone feels overwhelmed
explain complicated systems in plain language
help people move forward without adding shame
meet people where they are and work step by step
That matters here, too.
Because when most people reach out for bookkeeping help or audit prep, they are not doing it on their best, most organized day. Usually, they are stressed, behind, and tired of feeling like they should have figured it out by now.
That is where I come in.
What I Help With
At Shining Light LLC, I help business owners with:
bookkeeping cleanup
insurance premium audit preparation
payroll and contractor record organization
ongoing business support
This is not tax preparation. Right now, my focus is helping business owners get organized, stay better prepared, and feel more in control of the records that support their business.
Who I Work With
I work with small business owners who are great at what they do but need support behind the scenes.
That includes businesses like:
contractors
construction companies
restaurants and hospitality businesses
consulting firms
service-based businesses
growing businesses preparing for insurance premium audits
The Mission

My mission is simple:
to bring clarity, organization, and confidence to the business side of your business

I believe business owners deserve support that is clear, practical, and human. You should not feel embarrassed about asking for help getting organized.
No stiff accountant energy. No talking over your head. Just real support that helps you take the next step.
