The Team

Dave & Erin Ritchey

We’re Dave and Erin Ritchey, proud to call Bigfork our home after a decade of service as a Navy family. We’re parents to four young children and couldn’t imagine a better place to raise them — the Flathead, the Swan, and endless mountain miles.

Erin spent the last decade in risk management and accounting — insurance, financial analysis, and expat payroll tax at the corporate level. Dave brings a background in naval aviation and cargo operations, and is completing a Master of Accounting at UNC Kenan-Flagler.

Why Bayside Ledger

Financial clarity for
the businesses we serve

Fraction of the Cost

A full-time bookkeeper is a significant overhead commitment. We deliver the same expertise on a flexible monthly basis — scale up or down as your business evolves.

Diverse Experience

Corporate financial analysis, expat tax, risk management, and aviation operations — our background spans industries and gives us a practical lens most bookkeeping firms don’t have.

Freedom to Focus

Your job is to grow your business. Our job is to make sure the numbers never slow you down. Clean books, timely reports, and zero surprises at tax time.
