Bookkeeping for Washington Nonprofits and Small Businesses.

Get Your Time Back and Your Books in Order.

Clean, audit-ready books and financial peace of mind from a Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor.

Helping Washington small businesses thrive from behind the scenes.

Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor & QBO Certified Payroll Specialist

Keeping your books straight shouldn’t be stressful. Certified in QBO (and payroll), Risa Wood started Cascade Cornerstone Bookkeeping to provide small businesses with organized, virtual financial support right here in Ellensburg.

Hi, I’m Risa Wood.

I grew up in Japan, where I learned to pay close attention to details and to always do what I say I’ll do. I studied law, business, and accounting there and at Central Washington University here in Ellensburg. I bring that same care to every set of books I touch.

I’ve always wanted to build something of my own, so I have a lot of respect for the people I work with. Running a business or a nonprofit means doing ten jobs at once, and the books are usually the one that gets pushed to the bottom of the pile. That’s where I come in.

No two businesses run the same way, so I take the time to learn how yours works before I suggest anything. The moment I enjoy most is when a client looks at their monthly report and finally understands where their money is going.

I work with all kinds of small businesses, but nonprofits are my favorite. Restricted funds, grant reporting, and board reports call for a different kind of bookkeeping, and I love getting it right for organizations doing good work in our community.

I’m also a parent with a busy household, so I know how little spare time there is. If I can give you a few hours back each month, I’ve done my job.

A Partnership, Not Just Data Entry

Trust is the heartbeat of my work. I believe in working with you, not just for you. You can count on me to be prompt and responsive, answering your questions as if I were a dedicated member of your team.

I also know that your business has unique needs. If you’re looking for specialized help with Job Costing to track your projects or Non-Profit accounting to stay mission-focused, you’re in exactly the right place. I’m happy to handle the technical complexity for you.

My goal is to provide the clarity you need to make confident decisions, and I’d love to help you find that peace of mind where your finances are in reliable hands. Let’s start a conversation about what you need.

Contractor Client
Risa helped me immensely with my Quick books account. I'm a new business owner and a new Quick Books user. I have limited knowledge regarding accounting and categorizing expenses correctly. After one meeting with Risa, I feel much more comfortable inputting information in Quick Books and my P&L report is no longer a mess! If you need accounting help, contact Risa...you won't be disappointed! Highly recommended!!!
Non-Profit Client
Risa assists with our nonprofit's books on QuickBooks Online and is very responsive and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her business!

Frequently Asked Questions

My books are a mess. Will you judge me?
Not at all. Most people who call me are behind or unsure where things stand. That’s normal, and it’s exactly why I’m here. We start where you are.
No. Catch-up work is one of the most common things I do. I’ll look at where things stand, give you a clear plan and price, and get you current.
We talk for about 30 minutes about your business or organization and what’s bothering you about the books. There’s no pressure and no obligation. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you.
After our call, you’ll get a flat monthly price in writing before any work starts. If something changes, we talk about it first.
We work month to month, and you can stop anytime with 30 days’ notice.
Very little. After setup, most clients spend a few minutes a month answering a short list of questions from me.
I don't use QuickBooks Online. Is that a problem?
No. I can set it up for you or move you over from what you use now.
Yes. I work in QuickBooks Online with my own login, so you never share your password, and you can remove my access at any time.
I don’t file taxes, but I keep your books clean and organized so your CPA can file faster and with fewer questions.
No. I work with clients all over Washington State online. If you’re local, I’m happy to meet in person.
Yes. I’m a native Japanese speaker, so we can talk about your books in Japanese or English, whichever is more comfortable for you. 日本語での対応は可能ですか? はい、可能です。日本語と英語のどちらでも、ご都合の良い方でご相談いただけます。
Yes. I can work with your treasurer or executive director and prepare simple monthly reports your board can read before each meeting.
