Carolyn Smith
Bookkeeper
“I love working with numbers—they're like a puzzle! My grandmother, who worked in accounting, called it "working the figures," and I often like to use that expression.”
Carolyn brings over 20 years of bookkeeping and accounting experience, having worked with a diverse range of businesses including construction, farming, non-profits, and personal tax preparation. Her educational background is diverse, holding a bachelor’s degree in fine arts and a master’s degree in liberal studies with a focus on medicinal herbs. Carolyn lives a homestead lifestyle in Wisconsin’s St. Croix River Valley with her husband Chad, a carpenter, their two cats Nori and Gus, and some chickens. She enjoys working in a large vegetable and herb garden. Carolyn is looking forward to supporting our team by running the finances smoothly so the team at Ben Quie can focus on beautifully remodeling homes.
