KERRI ENGBLOM    

FOUNDER + CHIEF OPERATOR

Entrepreneurs start a business so they can do what they love

Not so they can drown in the back office

That's where we come in

Opal Operations handles your books, systems, and daily operations so you can stop being the bottleneck

and start being the CEO.

Systems + Automation

We replace the chaos with processes that run without you

If your business runs on sticky notes, spreadsheets, and tribal knowledge living in your head, it can't scale.

We audit  how your business actually operates today, then build the automated systems and tools (CRM, Payroll, QuickBooks, and more) that let things run smoothly without you touching every detail.  

The Result:

Less Firefighting, Fewer Dropped Balls, and a business that works, even when you step away

Bookkeeping + Financial Clarity

Know exactly where your money stands, every month

Most small business owners only look at their books when tax season forces them to.  

That means they're making pricing decisions, hiring decisions, and investment decisions blind.

We handle your bookkeeping on an ongoing basis so your numbers are always current, accurate, and meaningful.

The Result:

Confidence to make smart decisions all year long, not just in April.

Fractional
Operations Support

An experienced operator in your corner, without the full-time cost

Hiring a full-time Operations Director can cost $80,000 - $130,000 or more per year.  Most small businesses don't need that.  They need the right person, a few hours a week, who knows exactly what to do.

I step in as your part-time operator:  Managing your team, handling vendor relationships, solving the daily problems that eat your calendar, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

The Result:

Executive-level support at a fraction of the cost, and your time back where it belongs.

"I've been working with Kerri for years and can't praise her enough. She brings more than just "bookkeeping" experience to my organization, but true business operations knowledge and the ability to help with systems and processes. She has such a wide variety of skillsets, she is a true asset and a partner in my success. You won't be disappointed."

"Working with Kerri has really helped me get over a critical time for my business. She has helped me with figuring out which Quickbooks I should be using and is in the process of setting it up for me. She picked up on so many errors in my books that I currently do manually and has fixed them. Highly recommend for anyone who is less than great at doing your own books. I’m finally starting to see what my numbers really looks like and now I can focus on other things instead of sitting in an office doing paperwork 6 hours a week."
