TERRI WEISS, OWNER

I am Terri Kapton, owner of Woodlake Bookkeeping Services. My bookkeeping experience goes back more than 10 years when I worked for a large church in the Chicago metropolitan area where I oversaw the business operations of the church which included building maintenance, accounts payable and receivable, bank and credit card reconciliation as well as payroll. I was also in charge of organizing the many events the church held. I worked for a HVAC company doing the aforementioned duties and also 401k administration, health care administration, and inventory control. Prior to working for the church, I was in the auto industry for 10 years as a finance manager.

My husband and I moved to Virginia from the Chicago suburbs in 2016 and I seized the opportunity to take something I enjoy and am good at and make it my own. I started Woodlake Bookkeeping on my own, with one client. I have quickly grown a team of employees, and together, we work diligently to cater to our 40+ clients’ unique needs.

“Hiring Terri and Woodlake Bookkeeping has been a tremendous asset to my business. I’ve been able to focus and become more hands-on in my business development and hands-off with the bookkeeping. The biggest reason I enjoy working with Terri is her personalized and accommodating approach. She’s outstanding at helping me become organized and create tracking systems for knowing my numbers. If you’re serious about spending hands-on time growing your business, hire Terri so you can get hands-off your bookkeeping.”

In my free time, I enjoy kayaking, fishing, and exploring the beautiful surroundings Virginia has to offer. I have two adult daughters, my eldest lives in California, and my youngest moved to Virginia in 2019. Both are happily married and successful, I couldn’t ask for more! We welcomed our first grandchild in 2023, and he has brought more joy to our lives than I ever could have imagined. We also have three crazy Jack Russell’s; Maverick, Charlie, and Goose who keep us on our toes.

My organizational skills help me to be efficient and very detail oriented. I am a great communicator and very approachable.

I look forward to working with you to free you from the “books” and make you available to simply run your business.

You can rest easy knowing your business is my business
