Meet Our Team
Carrie West
The one who pays the bills & has all of the headaches.
West’s Bookkeeping Services (WBS), is more than an advising and bookkeeping business for me; it is a continuous journey and an enduring adventure. I view each day as a new opportunity to expand our knowledge and collaborate closely with our team and you, our clients. In this environment, we share insights and foster a culture where daily improvement is not just a goal, but a commitment.
In my role as an advisor, bookkeeper and business owner, I view challenges not as obstacles, but as valuable stepping stones that lead to greater learning and development. We celebrate your business milestones, big or small, with the same level of enthusiasm, recognizing the importance of each step in our journey toward financial clarity and success.
What drives us each day at WBS is the excitement of learning and sharing our knowledge when it comes to helping you with your financial management. I am energized by the opportunity to make an impact in your life both personally, as well as professionally, so you can live a more successful and harmonious life.
