About Us

About Us

Meet Penny Visser, your virtual financial partner

I founded Streamlined Books LLC to utilize my years as a CFO to deliver insight directly to small businesses and nonprofits.

I bring over four decades of financial experience to deliver more than numbers; I help organizations understand their numbers so they can make better financial decisions.

My goal is to make your financial information easier to understand and more useful in your day-to-day decisions.

I work with you to create accurate books, dependable reporting, and a clearer path forward.

Penny was instrumental in helping me get Cactus Flower set up from the beginning. She handled the bookkeeping for the business and helped make sure everything was organized and recorded properly as we got the business up and running. She also provided bookkeeping support for Mecca Plaza.

Having Penny handle the bookkeeping gave me confidence that our financial records were being properly maintained and allowed me to focus more of my time and attention on running the businesses. She was knowledgeable, dependable, and always willing to answer questions and help when needed.

I would highly recommend Penny and Streamlined Books to any small business owner looking for someone they can trust to take care of their bookkeeping.

I had the privilege of working with Penny Visser for several years while she served as CFO of her organization. During that time, I came to rely on Penny not only for her extensive financial knowledge and expertise, but also for her sound judgment, professionalism, and integrity.

Penny had a tremendous understanding of the financial side of her organization and was able to take complex financial information and make it understandable and useful when making important business decisions. She didn't simply look at the numbers—she understood what they meant for the organization and used that knowledge to fund organizations in the community that would do the most good for children.

What stood out to me most about Penny was that her financial decisions were always guided by what was best for the mission. She wasn't simply managing numbers; she was deeply committed to making sure the financial decisions she made supported the needs, goals, and long-term success of the organizations and the children in their care.

Looking back on the years we worked together, I have a great deal of respect for Penny's knowledge, work ethic, and commitment to the organizations and people she served.

I would have no hesitation recommending Penny to another business owner. Anyone who works with Penny can feel confident that they are working with someone who understands their finances, cares about their success, and can be trusted to do the job right.
