ABOUT US

Jen's Small Business Solutions is a local small business consulting company.  My name is Jennifer Zelen and my husband and I are co-owners of the business.  We are based in Cedar Hills, a neighborhood in SW Portland, Oregon.  I have been employed as a bookkeeper and have also been part owner of several family businesses for over 10 years; my work as a project coordinator and also Russian and Serbian interpreter goes back even longer.

After many years of working as an employee, I decided to finally incorporate and offer bookkeeping and payroll services.  In doing so, I can make use of my education and experience, and my work frees you and your company from the hassle and worries of keeping the books, and lets you get on with the job of running your business.

I love all the aspects of running a small to medium company- starting and maintaining an accurate, up to date accounting system, seeing that invoices are sent and bills are paid, making sure tax deadlines are met.  I like to see payroll simplified and processed without errors- make your employees happy!  I even like computers, and they like me too- I can help with computer networking, hardware and software upgrades, website development & maintenance, marketing using social media programs and more.  My experience with these aspects of office organization will make your work life a lot easier.
