About us
Real People. Real Experience. No Accounting Nonsense.
Windward Small Business Services was created by Wendy and Rod because we’ve seen how overwhelming bookkeeping can become — especially for small service businesses that are busy just trying to keep up.
We believe bookkeeping should feel supportive, not stressful.
Between us, we bring decades of real-world business and accounting experience — not theory, not templates, and not cookie-cutter advice.
Wendy has spent years inside the details: reconciling accounts, cleaning up messy books, and making sure the numbers actually reflect what’s happening in the business — not what someone hopes is happening.
Rod holds a degree in accounting and has spent decades working with small businesses, contractors, and service professionals. He understands how businesses really run day to day — not just how they’re supposed to look on paper.
Why We Do This
Most small business owners didn’t start their business because they love bookkeeping.
They started it because they’re good at what they do.
Somewhere along the way:
Transactions pile up
Statements don’t match
Software gets confusing
Stress creeps in
We’ve seen this story hundreds of times — and we know it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It just means you’ve been busy running a business.
Our job is to step in calmly, clean things up properly, and keep everything running smoothly going forward.
The difference you’ll experience
“I felt stuck and unsure how to take the next step in my business. Working with Rod & Wendy gave me clarity and a clear action plan. Within two months, I was completely caught up and back on track.
