Kristae joined Bauman Associates in 2011 as an seasoned professional, already having several years of public accounting experience. She has a well-rounded professional background in tax, audit, and financial statement preparation, as well as payroll, general accounting matters and accounting software. Most prominently, though, is her extensive experience and expertise with QuickBooks, Peachtree and various other accounting software, which has led Kristae to specialize in accounting software support, training, and implementation. Her experience with all types of small to medium size businesses has also allowed her to provide expert, hands-on guidance to clients in the setup and structure of accounting systems and office processes.

"The best part of what I do is working directly with clients. I really get a sense of satisfaction and happiness knowing that I’ve helped them and truly made a difference in their business and their life. When things are running smoothly and efficiently in the accounting area, it gives business owners the opportunity to really focus on their passion, their business, which is why they went into business in the first place. That is my passion."

Kristae and her husband, Jesse, live in the Eau Claire area. She likes to spend her free time with her family and friends, mostly outdoors. Kristae’s husband is an active soldier with the Wisconsin National Guard, a branch of the United States Army. Being a military wife, she volunteers her spare time to helping other military families and causes. In addition, she likes to contribute to the community through various non-profit organizations.
