Our Team Is Your Team

Karolyn LaLonde founded Stillwater Business Solutions to bring clarity, confidence, and collaboration to the financial side of running a business, especially for teams who’ve outgrown DIY solutions but aren’t ready for a full-time CFO.

Karolyn is a strategic financial partner with advanced expertise in bookkeeping, financial reporting, forecasting, and advisory services. As a QuickBooks ProAdvisor with deep knowledge of POS and e-commerce systems, she supports both early-stage founders and established leadership teams with the financial insight they need to grow sustainably.

Known for her precision, tech fluency, and emotionally intelligent approach, Karolyn delivers a concierge-style accounting experience that’s grounded, responsive, and built around each client’s goals. Whether untangling years of records or building a forward-facing financial strategy, she meets business owners where they are, and helps them move forward with confidence.

As an Enrolled Agent and advanced tax strategist, Bryan LaLonde brings deep technical expertise and calm clarity to business owners navigating complex financial decisions. He joined Stillwater Business Solutions in 2022, expanding SBS’s capabilities with high-level tax planning, compliance, and advisory support.

Bryan specializes in helping businesses prepare for what’s next, whether that’s sustainable growth, strategic acquisitions, or getting ready to be acquired. He’s a QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor with a sharp focus on e-commerce, dropshipping, and multi-channel sales environments, offering tailored guidance in an often-chaotic space.

With a data-first mindset and a no-nonsense approach, Bryan goes beyond compliance. He partners with clients to create strategic budgets, improve cash flow, and design forward-thinking tax plans that align with long-term goals. His work is grounded in integrity, transparency, and a genuine commitment to helping small businesses thrive, even in uncertain times.

With a background in hospitality management and a fast-rising career in accounting, Jade Klosgardner brings both heart and precision to every client relationship. Since joining Stillwater Business Solutions in 2024, she’s quickly become a trusted ally to business owners seeking clarity behind their books.

Jade supports a wide range of clients with high-quality bookkeeping, accounting, and tax services. She’s QuickBooks-proficient, skilled across industry-specific platforms, and especially adept at helping business owners understand their numbers, not just report them.

Her detail-driven approach and strong client dedication make her an integral part of the SBS team. Outside of work, you’ll find Jade traveling, catching a movie with friends, or exploring new trails with her dog, Gideon.
