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.
