Carol Stachwick grew up working in small business, helping with her father’s CPA firm through high school and college. After receiving her BS in Management and Human Resources, Carol became a CPA and managed the firm for many years. In addition, Carol performed audits of homeowners associations and nonprofit organizations, working closely with the finance and management teams throughout the audits. In recent years, Carol has been focused on providing accounting, consulting, and part-time CFO services to small business and small nonprofits. Usually, this means figuring out how to get the accounting done more efficiently so her clients can get back to doing the work that is their passion.
Carol was on air with Real Talk San Diego just a few days ago to discuss her work helping nonprofits with their accounting. Check out her interview here. (Carol starts at the 35 minute mark.)
