Kraken Bookkeeping is an owner-led bookkeeping practice that helps small business owners feel more organized, understand their numbers, and gain back time for the work they care about most.
Founded by Bill Lumsden, a retired U.S. Navy Master Chief with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, Kraken combines careful financial record-keeping with straightforward communication and personal support. The goal is to make bookkeeping feel manageable and give you confidence in the information behind your business decisions.
Before starting Kraken Bookkeeping, Bill spent 30 years in the United States Navy as an electronics technician and retired as a Master Chief. That career strengthened the attention to detail, consistency, and sense of responsibility he now brings to every client’s books.
After earning a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Excelsior University, Bill turned that experience toward helping small business owners. He understands that most owners would rather focus on customers, employees, and growth than spend hours categorizing transactions or trying to interpret financial reports.
With a dedicated bookkeeping professional handling the details, you can feel relief knowing the books are being maintained carefully and that someone is available to explain what the numbers mean.
Service remains important beyond the bookkeeping work. Kraken Bookkeeping supports the Road Warrior Foundation, which provides adventure therapy for wounded veterans. Bill also stays involved through board service with US Spyder Ryders and participation in fundraising events that support the veteran community.
You can ask for help whether the books are current, falling behind, or ready for a better system. The focus stays on understanding what you need and helping you make progress.
Bookkeeping should give you answers, not add more confusion. Bill explains reports and next steps in plain language so you can understand what is happening with your money.
Accurate books require steady attention. Kraken brings a disciplined process to categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, and keeping financial information organized.
The categories and reports that matter can vary by industry. Kraken considers how your business operates so the bookkeeping provides information you can actually use.
Kraken works with small businesses, startups, and local entrepreneurs in Kissimmee, St. Cloud, Celebration, Poinciana, and the Greater Orlando area. Food trucks and contractors are two areas of particular focus, and Bill also supports business owners across a range of service industries.
The common goal is simple: spend less time managing the books and feel more confident about where the business stands.
Start with a free discovery meeting. You can talk with Bill about where the books stand, what is taking up your time, and the kind of support that would help you feel more organized and confident.
