Treasured words from valued clients
Having been in business for over 18 years now, I've learned some things about what makes a good foundation to a company - things you need long before employees - and those are a good lawyer and good bookkeeper/accountant. They are the foundation and the bedrock of any organization. They set the tone so that all activities are done correctly and done well. CHE has been our bookkeeper since day one and will remain with us until they decide they do not want us anymore.
Charisse and her team not only are very good at what they do, they are quite simply wonderful people. I have enjoyed working with them, becoming friends with them and seeing them make our company better at what it does.

We interface with the CHE team on a daily basis and they perform a wide range of tasks for us including bookkeeping, trust account management, payroll processing, financial preparation, budget assistance, cash flow planning, doing interviews and facilitating the new hire process, helping us find ways to save money, full benefits admin, facilitating staff meetings and even shopping out a new copier!
They take care of any and every detail and are the utmost professionals. We couldn't do our job without them!

OUR STORY
I’m Charisse Letourneau, owner and founder of CHE (rhymes with “glee” - stands for Charisse Enterprises). My knack for numbers and finances allowed me to take on bookkeeping and accounting work while working from home with flexible hours and time to raise my family. But things quickly changed when I realized that working with numbers alone left me feeling that something was missing. An important something. Personal connection.
I wanted to combine the precise practice of finances and numbers with the genuine personal connection that comes with cultivating true partnerships and long-term client relationships.
CHE was born.
And 35+ years later, we continue to proudly serve our wonderful clients who feel the importance that we place on organizational financial health and the genuine connection that we cultivate along the way.
Our unique mix of left-brained thinking and right-brained creativity provides you with a trusted team of strategic planners and imaginative problem-solvers who design the perfect system for your financial success.
