Same founder, same team, same commitment to your business — with a name that reflects what we actually do.
I'm a Certified Professional Bookkeeper, a mom, and someone building a business I genuinely love — right here in Powell River, BC. My faith and my family are the foundation everything else is built on, and that's where the name Cornerstone comes from.
I understand the owners I work with because I see a lot of myself in them: hardworking, hands-on, and juggling more than any one person reasonably should. We work exclusively with trades and home improvement service providers — construction, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, renovation, landscaping, and interior design companies — because I understand their businesses inside and out. A lot of these owners started their companies the same way I started mine: by doing excellent work, earning trust, and figuring the rest out as they went. Bookkeeping is usually the part that gets figured out last.
When I'm not reconciling accounts, you'll find me out on the trails or down by the water with my family and our dog. That balance matters to me, and it's exactly what I want for my clients too — a business that supports your life, instead of consuming it.
"More than bookkeeping, I want to be the trusted financial partner who helps you make confident decisions — without the jargon, the judgment, or the paperwork pile-up."— Melissa
Kadatz Bookkeeping Services was built one client, one referral, one job well done at a time — the same way most of our clients built their own companies.
As the firm grew into a team-delivered, systemized practice, Cornerstone Compliance became the name that better reflects what we actually offer: a stable foundation for your business's finances.
Same owner, same team, same personal attention. If you knew us as Kadatz Bookkeeping Services, you'll still see that name referenced here and there — nothing about your service changes.
We're working to become the leading bookkeeping firm for trades and home improvement service providers across British Columbia — helping owners build stronger businesses through financial clarity, practical guidance, and long-term relationships.
"To provide accurate financial information, reliable compliance, and practical guidance that helps trades and home improvement business owners build stronger businesses, support their families, and contribute to thriving communities."
We're built on the Pure Bookkeeping System™ — documented processes and defined workflows instead of relying on any one person's memory. That means accuracy and consistency, even as our team grows.
You shouldn't have to chase your bookkeeper for answers. Timely responses and clear communication are part of the service, not an afterthought.
Revenue doesn't equal success, and bookkeeping is more than data entry. We help you understand profitability and make decisions based on real numbers — not bank balance guesswork.
