Chelsey

For Chelsey L., business management and bookkeeping has been an integral part of her life since she was very young. Her father owned a Concrete and Construction company and was always doing projects, while her mother earned extra money refurbishing antique furniture. Her family also had livestock farms through parts of her life. She learned the ins and outs of these trades, and started helping with bookkeeping and job costing duties for fun.

 

In her early twenties she went on to do a year long internship under the corporate controller and head of HR of Bidadoo, INC in Kent, Washington as the controller's assistant, where she learned the accounting processes for direct sales, auction sales, commission sales, equipment purchases, CRM management, multi-state compliance, and she specialized in data analysis and reports. She hopes to pursue further education and become a Financial Analysis accountant.

 

In her free time, she enjoys a variety of activities such as many different forms of art, clothing, interior, and home designs, architecture, riding and competing with her horses, and giving riding lessons via her own business. A meticulous and detail-oriented person, her goal is to help clients with their own business needs and set them up for success just as she would with her own.
