Scrupulous

Scrupulous

<skroop-u-lus>

fussy; careful; precise;

doing something with a lot of attention.

He painted in a scrupulous style. Each brushstroke was thought about.

Memory trick:
srup reminds of scrub
we scrub by doing it over and over
we scrub it until it is clean

Used at work:
You're a scrupulous accountant. Your numbers are always right.
