Hey, there!

I’m Tereasa Carter, Founder of Red Oak Bookkeeping.

I’ve always been drawn to order…color-coding Legos as a kid and alphabetizing my Beanie Baby collection (yes, really!). That love for organizing naturally evolved into a passion for helping business owners bring clarity and calm to their finances.

With over 15 years in office administration and 6 years as a paralegal, I’ve been in the trenches of running a busy business; handling everything from payroll to tax reporting, and all the details in between. I love a good challenge and thrive on problem-solving, especially when it means lifting a weight off someone else’s shoulders.

Bookkeeping isn’t just about the numbers, it’s about the people behind them. That’s why I take a personal, thoughtful approach with every client. I’m here to help you build a strong financial foundation so you can get back to doing what you love in your business and life.

When I’m not in QuickBooks, you’ll find me spending time with my family, sewing, camping, or planning our next adventure.
