Beth Crutchleo, Owner of Resolve Accounting Services, Inc.

In 2002, I started working for a small market research company in Cincinnati, OH. As the third person hired, I wore lots of ‘hats’….project manager, accountant, HR, admin assistant. In 11 years, we grew to 34 employees and I learned that systems, processes and reliable, consistent financial reports can make all the difference in the growth and success of a small business. And since I’ve always enjoyed working with numbers, creating systems and generally bringing order out of chaos, I realized this would be valuable to other small businesses…so I started my own. Your business needs more than someone entering and paying bills (a bookkeeper) to thrive. But accounting employees are expensive! So, you hire me and my team a few hours a month and with monthly, customized, financial reports and processes that keep everything running smoothly, you will know exactly what you need to know…the good and the not-so-good. And then you can do what you do best.

As for my education, I have a bachelors of science degree, but worked with accounting consultants to fill in the accounting gaps. I come to accounting from experience first, and book knowledge second, giving me a foundation that understands what the numbers and reports actually mean. I don’t do taxes. (You couldn’t pay me enough to keep up with tax law! ) But, I make your CPA’s tax prep quick and easy…and their tax-prep bill smaller, since the books are in order when they get them.

When I’m not working, I enjoy a good story in any form, traveling, researching my family history/genealogy, good conversations over a coffee, meal or while taking a long walk. I’m a Jesus Follower, 5 with a 4 wing on the Enneagram, ISTJ on the MBTI, and an Aunt to 11 (fun!! :)) nieces and nephews. I was born and raised in Greater Cincinnati (Who Dey! :) and proud to call it home, but I’m temporarily staying in Madison, WI (near a dear friend and because I love snow;) until the Spring of 2025, when I will return to Cincinnati.

Melissa – Junior Accountant – ROCK. STAR.

Detail oriented. Can solve ANY problem. Excel wizard. Loves checklists as much as Beth. Also loves The West Wing as much as Beth. In Melissa’s own words: “I’ve lived in the Cincinnati area for around 25 years and have known Beth for almost 20 of those. I am currently a part-time bookkeeper and a full-time wife and mom. I enjoy a nice, witty show or movie, a good book or podcast and spending time with family and friends.

Geraldine – Junior Accountant – DETAIL. WRANGLER.

Wrestles problems to the ground. Won’t waste your time with wordy emails. Professional and friendly. She knows what happens in Vegas. In Geraldine’s own words: “Raised a good mid-western girl in southwest Kansas, I earned my BA from Smith College in Massachusetts and then headed west to California where I earned my MBA from Pepperdine University. I have had a diverse career that has included mental health and social work, professional travel, corporate event planning, and management. My passport is always current and I’ve never met a bulldog that I didn’t love.
