A little birdie told us you might be struggling with your books...

Then, we maintain your books so that you never have to worry about filing an extension. The best part of all is that we provide ongoing guidance and support, alongside your financial statements, so that you fully understand your business finances and can use your data to grow and succeed!

Hi, I'm Kristen!
I’m an accountant in Hillsdale County, MI who is passionate about helping small business owners succeed! I was born and raised here in Hillsdale County, where I got my start in bookkeeping taking care of my family business’s books. I fell so head-over-heels in love with business finance that I went out and became the first person in my family to get a college degree. I’m sure you’ve already guessed that the degree is in accounting!
After my family sold our business, I went to work for a Fortune 500 company for a several years as an A/R analyst. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I connected with a local, family-owned construction company and became their full-charge bookkeeper. Here, I learned the ins and outs of Union payroll, certified payroll, job costing, liabilities, and advanced reporting in that industry.
I like to think of myself as more than just a regular bookkeeper. I not only provide a deeper analysis of your finances and give you the tools to succeed, but I also like to think I’m pretty fun! In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, horseback riding, camping up north with our off-road machines, and throwing big bonfires in the backyard.

Meet the Inspiration!
In November of 2022, I entered the greatest phase of my life to date; becoming a grandparent. Now, in my family, everyone received a nickname from my father. I was given the name Punk (somehow he felt this was a great shortened version of Pumpkin) and I have proudly carried that name with me throughout my life. Sadly, I lost my father to cancer when I was a teenager and I knew that the role of “Nickname Delegator” was now bestowed upon me.
Before my granddaughter was born I knew her nickname, as if my father sent it to me. Birdie.
I knew her name before I even met her. Birdie was born to young parents and I knew my role of Gamma would be a special one, and I knew I wanted to provide Birdie with a life as wonderful as she is. So, a couple months later I started the process of launching my own remote bookkeeping business. My hope is this business will allow me the time and means to provide her and the rest of my family with the wonderful life they all deserve. Birdie is my inspiration and my drive, and Birdie will forever be a vital part of Kristen Rae Bookkeeping Solutions.
