JCL Strategies

A Happy Accident

JCL Strategies wasn't planned; it was a happy 'accident' born from passion, expertise, and keen understanding of business needs. When Janelle Charriere opened JCL Strategies in 2019, she embarked on a journey that redefined her career and transformed the lives of countless business owners.

Founder and Owner

The Start of Something Great

Janelle's story began with a Business Administration diploma and dreams of becoming a CPA. But fate had other plans. During three years in public practice, she discovered her superpower: turning business owners' stress into zen with top-notch bookkeeping skills. She realized great bookkeeping is the secret sauce of every successful business.

Building A Vision

Janelle's love for lasting client relationships made her rethink the traditional accountant's role. Yearly tax meetings? No thanks. She wanted to be a constant ally in her clients' success stories. This led her to become a Certified Professional Bookkeeper (CPB) and QuickBooks® Advanced ProAdvisor™.

For Janelle, the thrill isn't just in balancing books but unraveling clients' stories of growth, achievement, and triumphs. She approaches bookkeeping with the enthusiasm of a detective solving a mystery. Each balance sheet is more than numbers; it's a chapter in a client's success story, a puzzle solved with precision and flair.

More Than Numbers

Janelle's life outside JCL Strategies is as colourful as her professional one (yes, it's possible). Whether plotting her next travel adventure, tackling another ambitious home renovation, or two-stepping at country concerts to fuel her inner cowgirl, Janelle brings the same meticulous balance and harmony to her personal life as she does to her work.
