We’re not the kind of accountants or bookkeepers you might be used to. We’re more like the decision-making, CFO-brained, “of course we can handle that, too” type of people. That’s because we know your financials are probably the thing keeping you up at night, and we want you to know that it doesn’t have to be that way.
When you hand your financial records over to us—which often feel like “the keys to your kingdom”—we’ll treat them with the care, strategy, and attention to detail they deserve. We’ll build systems and processes that actually make sense, creating a feeling of “okay, I get this now” where there was once confusion, and provide you with the kind of visibility into your finances that helps you make smart,
confident decisions.
In short? We’ll take the weight of financial operations off your plate, so you can stay focused on what you love to do instead of worrying about what’s slipping through
the cracks.
We don’t just manage your finances.
We show up like a partner, because we know what it means to hand over something this important.
Here’s what makes us different: we don’t sit around and wait for you to ask. We take the lead. And before we open a single spreadsheet or system, we’re already thinking about what is needed to help your business do better.
About Consorté
You’re never just another client to us, and we’ll always give your business the attention it deserves.
We love your passion for your craft because we share the same passion for what we do.
We’ll always tell the truth about what we’re seeing or thinking, even when it’s hard.
OUr Core values
"When I started my business over a decade ago, it seemed like I was just building a bookkeeping business. As it turns out, I was building something much more supportive—a true financial partner for business owners who were wearing way too many hats and needed to take a few of them off.
The name Consorté comes from the idea of partnership, from a ship coming alongside another in a moment of need. That’s exactly what I wanted this business to be: not just another accounting or bookkeeping service, but a steady hand. A team you can count on to care about your business like it’s our own and fight to get every piece right for you.
And so, over time, the role naturally grew. Clients needed more than someone to keep their books. They needed someone to help them build sustainable systems, take difficult tasks off their to-do lists, and consult on real business decisions.
That’s what we do now, every single day, and we’re proud to be the team that clients across Western New York trust with their most sensitive needs."
– Beth
The Story Behind The Name
"Consorté wasn’t just a name I picked out of a hat. It was a mission to show up for my clients when it mattered most."
Beth launched Consorté in 2014 with a singular goal in mind: to be the kind of partner business owners can count on for clean books, support, and peace of mind.
With a degree in Accounting and over two decades of hands-on, in-the-trenches experience, Beth knows the ins and outs of small business life, bringing a calm, grounded presence to every client relationship.
On a typical day, you’ll find her juggling client calls, staff questions, and the occasional IRS hold music, with a steaming hot latte or cup of tea always within reach. Outside of work, she can be found gardening, spending time with family and friends or tucked away in quiet meditation.
Beth believes in showing up with sincerity, loyalty, and a genuine desire to help. Her clients trust her with their kingdoms, and she never takes that lightly.

Client Notes

- Kyle K.
“Consorté puts my life on cruise control.”
Every day, the Consorté team makes me feel comfortable. I can breathe a sigh of relief with them knowing that the business is running itself and I don’t have to handle paperwork on the weekend anymore, which gives me more time to focus on my end of the business.
- Bob S.
Our accounting and bookkeeping is better organized with MUCH less paperwork on our part. If you’re on the fence about working with Consorté, call me! They’ve positively impacted our business and have allowed us to take a step back and enjoy our life outside of it.
“They’re always ready and willing to go the distance to find answers or solutions for us!”
-Kristine K.
I feel completely at ease and supported discussing the day-to-day and the dreams of my business. I know Consorté is as genuinely excited and vested in my success as I am!
"I feel so secure in my future financial decision-making!"
