ChrisBooks Accounting
Your accounting department - as much or as little help as you need.
I pay bills, send invoices, process and enter payroll, and reconcile bank and credit card accounts.
I generate financial statements and other reports that give you the information you need in a format that is easy to understand.
I work with your staff and your management team, your Board and your auditor.
I work closely with your CPA, providing all the information they need to take care of your tax returns.
If you don’t need all this, then I just do the parts you need me to do. I work well with others.
Before starting ChrisBooks, I had more than 20 years as a senior management-level leader as a Controller, overseeing, training, and mentoring operational accounting staff in high-tech firms.
When I joined the Board of Happy Hollow Foundation, I was quickly drawn into the local non profit world.
I began ChrisBooks in order to bring my skills to non profit and other small companies who don’t need a full time accounting person, much less a full time accounting team.

"Chris and her team became part of our team as our accounting department. They were very effective, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. Chris delivered accurate, informative financial statements and reports in a timely manner."
"When Chris is at the table, I feel totally assured that our finances are in good hands. She's a critical thinker who's able to zero in on details as well as step way back to analyze the big picture. As if that's not enough, she's simply a delightful person to be around! I'm grateful for her many talents and relentlessly positive outlook."
“Chris and I worked closely together for most of 10 years as we built Novas Software, a successful Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software company. She was responsible for all of the company's finance and accounting work, with minimal oversight from me. She helped me learn about finance and accounting, created highly effective systems, grew a strong accounting organization that constantly impressed me with its efficiency. I heartily give Chris my strongest recommendation.”
