Fairwind Business Solutions began in 2011 as a way to support our professional growth beyond our day to day roles. At the time, we were both speaking at regional and national software development conferences — Cari from the perspective of business analysis and operational clarity, and Colin from the cutting edge of modern programming languages, frameworks, and development practices.

Creating new presentations for every conference pushed us to stay sharp, expand our expertise, and continually refine our thinking. Fairwind became the professional identity that supported that growth — a place where we could explore ideas, share knowledge, and help organizations solve real world problems.

Over time, the business evolved into what it is today: a trusted partner for bookkeeping, financial operations, consulting, and software solutions for small and mid sized businesses.

Our roots in analysis, clarity, and continuous improvement still guide everything we do. Whether we’re cleaning up books, optimizing workflows, or building modern software, our goal is the same: help businesses run more smoothly and make confident decisions.
