Ken Kulakowski

Founder

With 30 years of small business consulting and ownership experience, I am motivated to help the self-employed and small business owner with the financial challenges of their business including bookkeeping, payroll, tax support, and consulting services at an affordable price.

In working with the owners that I support I observed that, although they are all motivated to make money, many do not have a good understanding of how to analyze this important part of their business. Many times they do not have regular contact with their accountant for a variety of reasons, and they may have hired someone to help who is learning on the job. Instead of continuing to identify these concerns, I decided to become the solution.

I have chosen to work with the Online version of QuickBooks so that I can have regular interaction with my clients. Converting your financial software to QuickBooks Online is simple and free, and a monthly subscription is included in our price. I can train you or your staff, or I can be your offsite financial controller and bookkeeper. I would be glad to offer you a free, no-obligation consultation to see how I can assist you.

Solutions Bookkeeping Plus has handled the books for my business and I couldn't recommend them more! Everything is accurate, on time, and explained in plain English instead of accountant-speak. Payroll runs without me ever thinking about it, and when I have a question I get a real answer fast, not a runaround. It's rare to find a bookkeeper you fully trust with the numbers and actually enjoy working with. If you run a small business, this is who you want on your side.

Adam Gregg Google review August 2026

Ken has been an outstanding bookkeeper for our business. He’s incredibly detail-oriented, organized, and proactive. Since working with him, our numbers are cleaner, clearer, and fully on track. Highly recommend him to anyone who wants reliable and accurate bookkeeping.

Garrett Huber Google review January 2026

I’ve been working with Ken and his team at Solutions Bookkeeping Plus for over a year now, and I couldn’t be happier with their service. Recently, I had an in-depth meeting with Ken and the accountant, Karen, where we reviewed my real estate business, discussed potential tax benefits, and made sure everything was aligned before year-end. It was clear they genuinely care about helping The Bock Team reach my business and financial goals.

Ken is always available when I have tough questions, especially when unexpected emails come in from the IRS or unemployment office and I’m unsure how to respond. Having that level of support and expertise brings real peace of mind.

Using Solutions Bookkeeping Plus has saved me an incredible amount of time, allowing me to focus on my clients instead of managing receipts and paperwork. I highly recommend Ken and his team to any small business owner, especially those in real estate or similar industries.
