Beatrice Rivera, Bookkeeper

As the Bookkeeper at Baker, Chi, and Parkey, Beatrice F. Rivera enters transactions and reconciles accounts in QuickBooks, as well as handles payroll for various clients. Her work depends on the specific account she is managing, making her adaptable to different client needs.

She is one of the most loyal staff having been a dedicated team member since 1984. Beatrice values open communication with her clients, whether through phone calls, emails, or in-person meetings. She prefers working with small businesses and individuals because it allows her to give more personal attention to their specific needs. Her love for numbers was inspired by her father, who was also a bookkeeper, and she enjoys carrying on that legacy.

What Beatrice appreciates most about working at Baker, Chi, and Parkey is the close-knit, supportive environment. The team functions like a family, stepping in to help one another whenever needed. Her education includes attending 4C’s after high school and taking classes at Clovis Adult School, but she credits much of her training to hands-on experience.

Beatrice lives by the philosophy: 'Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.' She hopes her work helps clients feel confident and prepared for tax season. In her free time, Beatrice enjoys watching movies of all genres, both at home and at the theater.
