Our Story

Often in a small business, the hands-on, trusted person handling the day-to-day transactions may be thrown into the role without much experience or training. For Charlene, that was exactly her situation. After encountering challenges in finding adequate support during her early career, Charlene saw the opportunity that the best way to provide the help she sought was to become the expert herself. Driven by this realization, she returned to school to pursue her undergraduate degree in accounting, and later her master’s degree and CPA qualification and from there continued her passion for gaining and sharing her business knowledge. This journey was not just a career decision but a personal commitment to ensuring that small do-it-yourself businesses have access to the highest level of support and care.

Over the past two decades Charlene has trained, and supported, hundreds of clients who use QuickBooks through structured workshops and on demand remote sessions. Commended for her positive, informative, and friendly teaching style Charlene combines deep industry knowledge with a genuine enthusiasm for helping others succeed.

Whether a business is looking to get started with QuickBooks, improve a process, or simply needs support to untangle a sticky situation, Charlene has the knowledge and tools to assist them.
