Our Mind Set

After working in the accounting industry for over 30 years, I have decided to open a new bookkeeping and accounting service here in South Lake Tahoe, CA.


Our goal is to make bookkeeping/accounting painless and easy-to-understand. Most business owners have enough worries selling a product or a service and managing their employees. Most of the time you need answers quickly, and that’s where Tahoe Bean Counters come in. We will help you facilitate needs as they arise. This is what we strive as a company to provide for our clients.

As a business owner myself, I understand the importance of having access to accurate and up-to-date records. Knowing where you stand financially at all times is imperative to make smart decisions. Not to mention, quickly responding to insurance companies, banks, and/or investor requirements when they ask for your financial status (i.e. financial reports).

We pride ourselves in being well educated and experienced, refusing to always do things “by-the-book” and always thinking outside the box. Even in the accounting field we can bring humor and creativity, and with the new technology available, it’s no longer just about debits and credits. Finding solutions to problems is our specialty and we always love a challenge and a problem that we can work to solve. We approach accounting not only from the accountant’s stand-point but we approach it from a real-life stand point. We are experts at making it quick and painless. We don’t need a lot of instruction or information to put your financial picture together. Even if you have one or more source of information, we approach it with the end in mind. We can also work with couples on their Personal Finances. Most personal finance clients are also business owners so they require we maintain 2 sets of books: personal and business. We are experts in tracking those difficult transactions from personal accounts to business accounts and vice versa. all the transfers, loans, and cash transactions that occur when you’re a busy entrepreneur running your household and your business.

What are the answers you’re looking for? Are you looking to expand, invest, downsize? Are you looking to get out of debt? That’s how we’ll customize your reports. In a way that answers all those questions- while remaining compliant with the IRS- and making it painless for your CPA as well. You’ll know what the numbers represent on your Profit & Loss (income statement) and your Balance Sheet by looking at them. No hidden numbers to figure out. We won’t confuse you with fancy terms. We are just here to tell you where you’ve been and where you’re going….numerically.
