Your Messy Books Are Sabotaging Every Business Decision You Make

Without a comprehensive Tax & Accounting Analysis, you're making critical decisions—project pricing, equipment purchases, hiring—based on potentially wrong numbers. You might be bidding jobs at a loss, missing S-Corp optimization worth thousands annually, or operating with broken accounting that can't reveal which parts of your business actually profit. Every day you delay expert analysis of your tax returns and QuickBooks, competitors with proper accounting are gaining ground.

It's Time To Upgrade

Every Day You Wait, You're Risking...

Don't let sub-par bookkeeping and reactive tax planning bleed your business dry. The longer you wait, the more expensive these problems are to fix.

Overpaying In Tax

Amateur bookkeepers miss S-Corp optimizations, equipment deductions, and strategic opportunities that could save you $5,000-$20,000+ yearly.

Flying Financially Blind

Inaccurate books lead to bad pricing, unprofitable jobs, and cash flow disasters that can sink your business before you realize what's happening.

IRS Audits

Poor documentation and incorrect categorization make you an audit target, with penalties and interest that can cost tens of thousands.

Stunting Growth

Messy financials prevent you from securing loans, attracting investors, or qualifying for larger contracts that require professional-grade accounting.

Burning Out The Team

Every hour your staff spends on bookkeeping tasks is an hour not spent on sales, production, or customer service that actually grows your business.

Unneeded Stress

Never knowing your true profitability or cash position keeps you up at night and prevents confident decision-making.

A CPA Committed to Your Financial Success

Meet Lisa Haataja, CPA

As a certified public accountant who's called the Flathead Valley home for over a decade, I understand the unique challenges facing Montana business owners. After spending 20 years helping clients navigate complex tax situations at a local CPA firm, I started Double Knot Accounting & Bookkeeping because I saw too many hardworking contractors and service business owners overpaying in taxes and making decisions based on messy books. My mission is simple: help local businesses keep more of what they earn while building the financial foundation they need to grow and thrive. When you work with me, you're not just getting expert accounting—you're partnering with someone who genuinely cares about your success and understands what it takes to build a profitable business in our community.
