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.
Proudly based in Ellensburg | Serving all of Washington State

How We work together (3-step process)
A simple, stress-free path to getting your books in order.
1. Let’s Talk
We start with a quick, free chat. This helps me learn about your business and exactly what you need help with.
2. We Get Set Up
I’ll send over a simple plan for us to look at. Once you’re happy with it, we’ll sign the paperwork and get all the access I need to start.
3. You Relax
You’re all done! I take over the heavy lifting. Every month, I’ll send you clear updates so you always know where your business stands.
If you are...
- Unsure if your projects are truly profitable
- Dreading tax season surprises
- Feeling behind and disorganized
- Overwhelmed by a mountain of receipts
Then you’ll have...
- Clear reports that show what matters
- Year-end-ready books that simplify tax season.
- Steady visibility into your cash flow
- Calm, organized books you don't have to worry about
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.
