When You Need Help Now: On‑Call, Part‑Time Financial Support for Wasilla & Palmer Small Businesses

If you’re a small business owner in the Mat‑Su Valley, chances are you’ve felt it:

That stretch of the year when the numbers pile up faster than the hours in the day.

Tax season. Busy season. Growth spurts. Staffing gaps. A bookkeeper who moved on. An accountant asking for clean, accurate records yesterday.

Over the last several months, I’ve been hearing the same thing from local accountants and business owners alike in Wasilla and Palmer:

“I don’t need another full‑time hire… I just need reliable help when things get heavy.”

That’s exactly why I’m introducing On‑Call Bookkeeper  through RavenWorks Consulting.

The Reality for Local Small Businesses

Most small businesses don’t operate on a smooth, predictable schedule — especially here in Alaska.

Workload ebbs and flows with:

• Tax preparation deadlines

• Seasonal business cycles

• Growth phases

• Unexpected staff changes

• New systems or software transitions

Hiring full‑time help during these periods often doesn’t make sense. But doing nothing usually costs more — in stress, late nights, missed deductions, and rushed decisions.

What many businesses really need is experienced, trustworthy help that can step in quickly — and step out when things stabilize.

What Is On‑Call Bookkeeper?

This service is designed to give you access to professional bookkeeping and financial support exactly when you need it, without the long‑term commitment of a full‑time hire.

Think of it as:

• Extra hands during tax prep season

• Short‑term support during peak business months

• Coverage when your bookkeeper is unavailable

• Help catching up, cleaning up, or staying on track

Support can be structured around your busiest seasons, your systems, and your goals.

Built on Trust, Integrity, and Local Relationships

RavenWorks Consulting was built on one simple belief: your financials deserve care, accuracy, and respect.

As a local business serving Wasilla and Palmer, trust isn’t a buzzword — it’s the foundation of everything I do.

You’re inviting someone into the most sensitive part of your business. That means:

• Clear communication

• Confidentiality

• Ethical, accurate work

• No shortcuts

• No surprises

Many of my referrals come directly from local accountants — a relationship I take seriously. My role is to support both you and your tax professional, ensuring your books are clean, organized, and ready when it matters most.

How I Come Up to Speed — Quickly

One of the biggest concerns I hear is:

“I don’t have time to train someone right now.”

That’s understandable — and it’s exactly why this service is designed the way it is.

My onboarding process focuses on:

• Understanding your business model and seasonality

• Reviewing your current books and systems

• Identifying immediate priorities

• Aligning with your accountant’s expectations

Because I work with small businesses across trades, services, and nonprofits, I’m accustomed to stepping into new environments efficiently — without disrupting your workflow.

The goal is simple: reduce your workload, not add to it.

Who This Service Is Best For

This offering is a great fit if you:

• Experience seasonal spikes in financial workload

• Need extra help preparing for tax season

• Are growing but not ready for full‑time staff

• Want a trusted local professional you can call when needed

• Value accuracy, integrity, and clear communication

If you’ve ever thought “I just need help for a few months” — this service was built for you.
