About Us
I'm Carol Peterson, the founder of Cornerstone Bookkeeping. After a career in IT, I discovered my passion for helping small businesses succeed through better bookkeeping. What started with helping one local business owner understand their numbers has grown into a dedicated bookkeeping practice.
Since 2017, I've combined my technical expertise with professional bookkeeping certification to help business owners get clear insights into their finances. My background in IT means I understand how to make technology work for your business, not against it.
Today, I help businesses take control of their finances with clean books and clear reporting. I believe in keeping things simple, communicating clearly, and being there when my clients need me.
I believe bookkeeping should make your life easier, not harder. That means being proactive about potential issues, responding quickly when you need help, and making sure you always understand your numbers.
I take the time to understand how your business works and what matters to you. This allows me to customize my approach to fit your needs, rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all system.
Most importantly, I value building long-term relationships with my clients. Your success is my success, which is why I focus on being a reliable partner for your business growth.
