Your processes are costing you time & money.
Let’s fix that.

Hi, I’m Kari Lewallen.

I work with small business owners who know something in their operation is off. Usually that’s someone running a small operation, maybe just you or a few people, where you’re wearing most of the hats and the way you do things has been patched together over time rather than actually built. The work is taking longer than it should, mistakes keep slipping through, and the workarounds have piled up to the point where nobody’s really sure how things are supposed to run anymore.

I find what’s broken, show you exactly why it’s happening, and fix it. Sometimes that’s a rebuilt system in Excel. Sometimes it’s cleaning up a process that’s grown too complicated for its own good. Either way, you walk away with something that actually works and you’ll be able to tell the difference on day one.

The problem

You built your process to handle the business you had. Then the business grew, and the process never kept up.

Now there’s a spreadsheet nobody fully trusts, steps that only one person knows how to do, and a recurring task that takes two hours longer than it should. You’ve added workarounds. The workarounds have workarounds. And somewhere in there, things fall through the cracks and it’s usually at the worst possible time.

It’s not that you’re doing it wrong. It’s that the system you’re running was never designed for where you are now.


what i do

I come in, learn how your process actually runs, what the end result is supposed to be, and map out exactly where the time and errors are coming from.

Then I fix it. That usually means simplifying the steps, removing the ones that don’t need to be there, and building in automatic checks so problems surface before they become real headaches. I work mostly in Excel, sometimes with other tools depending on what fits your setup best.

I’m a one-person shop, so you work directly with me start to finish. I’m not going to hand you off to someone who has to re-learn your business from scratch.


how it works

  1. You walk me through what you’re doing now, the files, the steps, and all the workarounds you’ve added over time
  2. I audit it. I map what’s actually happening, identify where things break down, and put together a report showing what’s worth fixing and why in an easy to understand format
  3. I build the fix. Clean, tested, and designed around how your business actually runs
  4. You get a working system, a plain-language walkthrough, and a lot of hours back

about Kari

I spent years as an accountant building these kinds of systems for the businesses I worked in; the kind that turn a half-day process into something that runs in twenty minutes. I know what a well-built process looks like, and I know what a duct-taped one looks like too, because I’ve seen plenty of both.

I’ve worked with bookkeepers, contractors, and retail operations. The details are different every time. The underlying problem usually isn’t. Somewhere along the way the process stopped keeping up with the business, and nobody had the time or knowledge to fix it properly.

That’s what I do. No software pitch, no jargon, no rebuilding things that don’t need rebuilding. Just a clear look at what’s slowing you down and a fix that actually sticks.
