About Us

our philosophy

Built on Experience.

Focused on Your Financial Confidence.

At Gold Stone Bookkeeping & Advisory Services, we believe that every business owner deserves clear, reliable financial information — and the confidence that comes with truly understanding their numbers.

Our bookkeeping firm in Dutchess County, NY was founded by Chaunessy Frederick, a finance and accounting professional with over 15 years of experience across corporate finance, small business operations, and executive leadership. Chaunessy graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Clemson University and began her career in corporate finance, where she developed a strong foundation in financial strategy, reporting, and business performance.

Over the years, her career evolved into senior finance and CFO-level roles, working closely with leadership teams to guide growth, improve profitability, and build sustainable systems. Along the way, she gained extensive, hands-on experience helping businesses grow from the ground up — across sales, finance, marketing, operations, and human resources — giving her a truly well-rounded perspective on what it takes to run a successful company.

One of Chaunessy’s greatest strengths is her ability to translate complex financial information into clear, practical insight. She has worked extensively with business owners to develop KPIs, forecasting models, and strategic growth plans, and understands firsthand the challenges entrepreneurs face when it comes to managing their finances while also running their day-to-day operations.
