Woodworking - Custom Furniture

Charlie Plesums switched from full time computer-consulting and part time woodworking, to full time woodworking (building custom furniture) and part-time consulting (in electronic business records and workflow management). Some call it retirement. A neighbor calls it pursuing a passion. Follow the link above for information about his woodworking services. He has also started a site with business and woodworking help for solo woodworkers and other solo craftsmen. His consulting services are described below.

Whatever the reason for today's visit, you are invited to look at and comment on some examples of his woodworking.

Business Consulting
    Accounting Services

Jenny Plesums is a Certified Public Accountant, currently serving high-tech start-up companies and other small companies that don't yet have a full time financial officer, as a contract Controller. She has also been an operations and financial manager for large medical practices and a CPA in traditional public practice, including services as an expert witness. Earlier in her career Jenny was in medical research, and has several published research papers.

Jenny is not interested in full-time employment with a single company, but prefers the variety and challenge of supporting multiple small companies on an "as-needed" basis. Often she teams with the existing staff, who handle routine bookkeeping and clerical tasks, reducing the time Jenny is needed to review the records and prepare financial statements. She does not prepare tax returns, but (like an in-house controller) prepares the business records so that your tax accountants can work efficiently (at minimum cost). Most clients work without a formal engagement agreement, but if required, one like this can be executed.

For some small businesses, the owner's personal finances are closely tied to the business, so Jenny may get involved in preparing personal financial data, ready for tax preparation by Turbo-Tax or H&R Block or others. For those whose personal bookkeeping system consists of a shoe box or grocery bag with receipts, Jenny will find lower-cost people to sort and enter the records for her analysis.
