Today we’d like to introduce you to Cynthia Nixon.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’m a proud Dallas native, born and raised in Pleasant Grove—and still right here serving the same community that shaped me. In 2022, I began my transition into entrepreneurship as a notary, tax professional, and bookkeeper. What started as a small step quickly became a calling.
I invested in myself by taking every course I could find, learning the skills needed to truly support others with excellence. And even now, I’m still learning, still growing, and still committed to staying up-to-date so my clients always receive the best.
My business was built with flexibility and accessibility in mind. Whether virtually or mobile, I meet people where they are. I’ve always enjoyed helping others—especially when it comes to finances—and this work gives me a way to guide individuals, families, and small business owners toward clarity and confidence.
Before creating C’More Bookkeeping & Tax, I was the “unofficial personal assistant” for many of my neighbors. Helping them manage paperwork, business matters, and everyday tasks opened my eyes to the real need for trustworthy, friendly financial support in my community. That inspiration continues to motivate me every day.
My goal is to grow this side hustle into a thriving part-time career as I transition into retirement from my current role at a Dallas hospital. I’m building something that not only supports my future but also creates a meaningful impact for the people I serve.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Absolutely not—it hasn’t been a smooth road, but it has definitely been a meaningful one. As a solo operator, I’ve had to learn almost everything by doing. Some days I’m the bookkeeper, the tax professional, the notary, the marketer, the admin, and the IT department—all before lunch.
One of the biggest challenges has been not knowing who to turn to for guidance. Who do I consult with? Who is my business mentor? Who can I ask when I don’t know the next step? When you’re building something from the ground up, those questions hit hard.
Marketing has also been a journey. Before starting my business, I didn’t fully understand what marketing really meant or how to do it effectively. Learning how to show up online, create content, and communicate my value has been a process—one I’m still working through with patience and consistency.
But every struggle has made me stronger. It has pushed me to keep learning, lean on my community, and stay encouraged even when the road gets bumpy. And with each step, I’m building a business that reflects not just my skills, but my resilience and heart for helping others.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I currently work full-time at a major hospital here in Dallas, where I’ve proudly served for the last 38 years. In 2009, I decided to further my education and returned to school for my MBA, which I completed in 2012. Ten years later, I opened my own business—C’More Bookkeeping & Tax.
Starting a business later in life has been both challenging and rewarding. But it has also given me something meaningful to look forward to as I prepare for retirement. Entrepreneurship requires courage, discipline, and faith, and I lean on the scripture that guides me daily: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
In my business, I specialize in bookkeeping, tax preparation, mobile and online notary services, and supporting small business owners with the financial side of their operations. What I am known for is my integrity, my attention to detail, and my ability to help clients feel comfortable and confident about their finances—especially those who may not have had support before.
One thing that sets me apart is my background as a laboratory professional. In the lab, we learn that everything must be verified. Sometimes you run a test twice. Sometimes you question the numbers because they don’t look right. You don’t guess—you validate.
I bring that same standard to bookkeeping and tax work. My goal is to ensure that every entry in a business’s general ledger is true, accurate, and tax-ready. If something doesn’t look right, I investigate. If something needs clarity, I review it again. Accuracy is not just a preference—it’s a responsibility.
I am most proud of the trust my clients place in me. When you’re handling someone’s finances, you’re handling something deeply personal. People have to trust your character, your professionalism, and your confidentiality. And I don’t take that lightly.
My journey—from the hospital lab, to earning my MBA, to launching a virtual and mobile financial services business—has prepared me to serve clients with excellence, empathy, and integrity. That’s what truly sets me apart.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
The most important lesson I’ve learned is the power of honesty and speaking my truth—even when it’s not the popular thing to do. Throughout my career and now as a business owner, I’ve learned that integrity matters.
Being honest with myself about what I know, what I’m still learning, and what I can realistically take on has helped me grow with confidence. And being honest with others—clients, colleagues, and community—builds trust that money can’t buy.
Doing what’s right isn’t always easy, but it’s always necessary. Walking in truth has guided my decisions, strengthened my character, and shaped the way I run my business. It’s helped me stay grounded, focused, and aligned with the purpose God has for me.
