Christopher Wilson
Hi, I’m Christopher Wilson: Your one-on-one partner in profits, time, and peace of mind.
WHY I DO WHAT I DO
I launched Cilson Bookkeeping after hearing too many owners say, “I’m drowning in numbers.” I believe small businesses deserve board-level insight, without having to hire a board. So I turned 20+ years of finance, audit, and hands-on ownership into one promise. I’ll treat your books with the same care I once gave billion-dollar balance sheets. Only now my focus is on you.
