Bristlecone Ledger Group LLC · Christopher Schultz, Full-Charge Bookkeeper & Owner
My journey into the world of numbers began long before I stepped into a corporate office. As a multi-generational Coloradan with family roots that run deep in these mountains, my career actually started during high-school summers as an arcade supervisor — and what I liked was the rhythm of the weekly drop: counting the machines, matching entries, reconciling every coin against what the numbers said should be there. It was my first taste of accounts receivable, and I was hooked on the clarity of books that balance.
That early passion for precision turned into twenty years spent getting numbers right where being wrong had consequences:
Inside some of the country's largest companies — including a customer-service team of fourteen — I learned to navigate complex financial operations without losing sight of the person behind the numbers.
Utility billing, daily deposits, and monthly journal-entry reconciliation — public funds handled with the transparency they deserve, supporting collection across tens of thousands of accounts.
A year in consumer protection on the front lines of fraud detection, verifying thousands of applications and developing an eye for the discrepancy that doesn't belong. That's not a skill you turn off.
At a Colorado service company I ran AR, invoicing, payments, scheduling, and the phones. I know what a Friday afternoon looks like in a small business, because I've had one.
Taxes belong to your CPA. Payroll belongs to your provider. What I do is keep your books clean, reconciled, and current — and hand your other professionals something they can trust. Knowing exactly where my work ends is part of doing it well.
Tell me where your books actually are. I'll tell you straight whether I can help and what it would cost.
