Kristel Bowers - Founder and Client Manager of My Bookkeeping Studio

With over 20 years of experience in the construction industry, I know what it's like to juggle crews, deadlines, payroll, change orders, vendors, and the constant pressure of keeping work moving while staying profitable. As a co-owner of a trades business, I've experienced the challenges of running a construction company firsthand—not just from behind a desk, but from the jobsite.

That's why I started My Bookkeeping Studio. I wanted to help contractors stop guessing where their money is going and start understanding what's really driving their business. I believe bookkeeping should do more than keep your books organized—it should give you the confidence to make smarter business decisions.

That belief led me to create the TradeShield System™—my proven approach to helping contractors Detect Trade Traps™, Protect Cash Flow, and Strengthen Profitability. By identifying the hidden financial issues that quietly drain profits, I help contractors gain clarity, improve decision-making, and build stronger, more profitable businesses.

About My Bookkeeping Studio

Jason Scott - Meet our Sales & Marketing Director.

"I spent over ten years in construction before I ever sat at a desk — as a project manager, a crew supervisor, someone who bid jobs and worked sites as a contractor. I've watched a job look busy and still lose money. I know what that feels like, because I've lived it.

That's what brought me to My Bookkeeping Studio. I studied Business and Psychology at Hardin-Simmons University, and honestly, the psychology side matters just as much as the business side — most of my job is listening for the problem a contractor hasn't said out loud yet.

I'm not here to sell you bookkeeping. I'm here because I've bid the jobs, run the crews, and felt the exact problems TradeShield is built to catch."
