Running a business in a valley like Creston means wearing every hat — and the books are usually the one that ends up at the bottom of the pile. Whether you’re working the land, running a shop on Canyon Street, or building something new,

Delinea Consulting keeps your bookkeeping clean and current so you can get back to the work that matters. Clean books. Confident decisions.

I lived just up the lake

I’m Deanna Christensen, an Advanced Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor with nearly two decades of experience. Boswell BC is my home away from home, and at the very start of my travels across the country, I lived there, just up the east shore of Kootenay Lake. The Creston Valley isn’t a name on a map to me, it’s a trip I’ve made weekly for groceries, coffee and donuts at the mountain barn, or wine at Skimmerhorn. I know the drive, I know the valley, and I even know it keeps its own time: Mountain Standard all year, no springing forward. Working with Creston businesses feels like working with neighbours.

Your books run on QuickBooks Online, accessible whenever you want them.

How I help Creston businesses

  • Monthly bookkeeping — your transactions sorted and accounts reconciled every month, so nothing piles up.
  • Catch-up & cleanup — behind after a busy stretch or a busy year? We’ll get you current, no judgment.
  • GST & PST — BC’s two separate sales taxes, tracked and filed correctly all year.
  • Payroll & seasonal-staff tracking — agricultural and seasonal hiring, kept tidy.
  • QuickBooks setup & cleanup — a file built right, with reports you can rely on.
  • Clear reporting — plain-language numbers that actually tell you something.

When tax time comes, your books are clean and ready for your accountant.

Remote, and I know exactly which clock you’re on

I work with Creston businesses entirely online from Atlantic Canada. Living on the east shore taught me the valley’s quirks, time zone and all. Whatever the clock says there, I’m hours ahead out east, which means your books and answers are often ready before your morning coffee. Nothing to drop off, nothing to drive over the pass.

Why Creston owners work with me

  • Nearly two decades of experience across many industries.
  • A real connection to the valley — I lived just up the lake and visit every year.
  • Current BC tax knowledge — GST and PST kept straight.
  • Approachable and plain-spoken — no judgment, ever.
  • Real reviews on this site.

Deanna worked with us for several years and was a tremendous help in cleaning up and improving our bookkeeping systems for both SeeVirtual and HomeLife Realty Services. She is professional, patient, knowledgeable, and has a strong ability to take complicated bookkeeping challenges and create practical systems that actually work. I always appreciated her ability to work with different people at their level and help move things in a positive direction. I would not hesitate to recommend Deanna and Delinea Consulting to any business looking to improve their bookkeeping, systems, or accounting processes.

Deanna at Delinea Consulting was great at organizing and streamlining our booking and accounting. She also helped set up many other administrative systems which really helped us be more efficient. I would highly recommend Deanna to any company that needs help setting up and managing their booking and administration.

Deanna is a true professional in every sense of the word! Her mission to help her clients understand why it is so important to maintain clear, updated books and how to do so simply is a real game-changer, especially for someone who runs their own business. Her advice, systems, and education help demystify the often scary world of finances so you can take control of your business and support long-term success. 10/10 would recommend her services to anyone looking for clear, effective bookkeeping!
