Helping Business Owners Help Themselves! Before starting Karin Hostetler Consulting, I worked in many different fields. I was a loan agent for a finance company, worked in sales with four major corporations, and then went on to manage restaurants, a weight loss clinic and offices in real estate management and electrical contracting. I started Karin Hostetler Consulting in 1998 with a desire to provide new and established businesses with a highly experienced yet reasonably priced alternative to the ordinary bookkeeper or highly priced CPA. I provide help in the start up phase, and then continuing support as the business grows. I am firmly committed to the belief that a company needs a solid knowledge of its financial situation to survive and grow. I work with my clients on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis to help them maintain a clear and concise picture of the status of their business.
