About

Hi, I’m Natasha Bradt, the founder of 3 Lakes Bookkeeping. I help business owners gain clarity, save time, and keep more of their hard-earned money through stress-free bookkeeping and financial analysis.

I’m based in the St. Croix Valley, just across the river from Stillwater, MN, and about 40 minutes from the Twin Cities. I have an office in River Falls, WI, but I primarily work virtually, serving clients across the country—from Virginia to Colorado and Oregon.

I was born in St. Louis, MO (Go Cardinals!), but now live near Hudson, WI, with my husband, our two kids, two energetic dogs, and a handful of chickens. When I’m not working, you’ll find me with my community gardening, fishing, or skiing.

Why I Do What I Do

My love for numbers started in college when I discovered how much I enjoyed the puzzle-solving aspect of accounting. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Accounting in 2018 and spent 5 years as a financial analyst for Andersen Windows, a large manufacturing company, where I managed budgets and analyzed financial data to improve profitability. I also gained 3 tax seasons of experience alongside a CPA, helping businesses and individuals minimize their tax liability and stay compliant.

But what I enjoyed most wasn’t the numbers, it was helping business owners make sense of their finances and giving them the tools to grow with confidence. That’s why I started 3 Lakes Bookkeeping—to provide reliable, strategic financial support that frees up your time, eliminates stress, and helps your business thrive.
