Caterina Van Waas’ Background & Experience

At Friesian Feathers Bookkeeping & Consulting, we believe every business deserves clear, reliable financial information without the stress of managing it all on your own. I’m Caterina Van Waas, founder and lead bookkeeper, bringing more than a decade of hands-on bookkeeping experience to every client partnership.

With a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, nearly nine years of contract bookkeeping, and two years in public accounting, I’ve supported a wide range of industries—from self-employed tradespeople and oilfield operators to growing service-based businesses. I understand that accurate books aren’t just about compliance; they’re the foundation of smart decisions, stability, and peace of mind.

Why I Started Friesian Feathers Bookkeeping

I started Friesian Feathers to give small business owners something bigger firms often overlook: a genuine, personal connection. My approach is friendly, flexible, and 100% remote, allowing you to receive professional bookkeeping support from anywhere in Alberta, British Columbia, or Ontario.

The name Friesian Feathers is inspired by my beloved Friesian horse, a symbol of strength, grace, and trust. These are the qualities I bring to every client relationship. Whether you need ongoing bookkeeping, help catching-up, or support preparing for year-end, I’m here to make sense of your numbers and keep your business grounded, informed, and moving forward.

If you’re ready to hand off your bookkeeping, need help catching up, or want guidance on your financial systems, I’m here to help.

Contact me today for a free consultation and discover how simple, accurate, and stress-free your financial management can be.
