Your Dedicated Financial Partner
I'm Cherisse Skeete, founder and principal of Cheralis Financial. For over two decades, I've been helping individuals and businesses navigate the complex world of taxes and financial management.
My journey in finance began with a degree in Accounting, but my real education came from years of hands-on experience working with clients from all walks of life. I've seen firsthand how financial challenges can affect people—the stress of IRS notices, the confusion of messy books, the anxiety of tax season. That's why I founded Cheralis Financial: to provide the personalized, compassionate financial guidance that everyone deserves.
Unlike large tax chains where you're just another number, at Cheralis Financial, you're family. I take the time to understand your unique situation, whether you're a first-time business owner learning QuickBooks or a seasoned professional facing an IRS audit. My goal is simple: to give you the financial clarity and peace of mind you need to focus on what matters most in your life.
- Degree in Accounting with continuous professional education
- 20+ years of hands-on tax and bookkeeping experience
- QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor
- Specialized training in IRS tax resolution
- Commissioned Notary Public in the State of Georgia

Why Clients Choose Us
Personal Attention, Professional Results
At large tax preparation chains, you might see a different person every year—someone who doesn't know your history or understand your goals. At Cheralis Financial, you work directly with me. I know your situation, remember your challenges, and can provide consistent, informed guidance year after year.
This personal relationship means better outcomes. I can spot opportunities and potential issues that someone unfamiliar with your situation might miss. It also means a more comfortable experience—you're not explaining your story from scratch every time you need help.
Comprehensive Services, Convenient Access
Managing your finances shouldn't require visiting multiple providers. At Cheralis Financial, you can get tax preparation, bookkeeping, financial consulting, and notary services all in one place. This integrated approach ensures consistency and saves you time.
Whether you prefer in-person meetings at our Dacula office or virtual consultations from anywhere in the country, we accommodate your preferences. Our secure document portal makes sharing information easy and safe, and we're always just a phone call away when you have questions.
What Our Clients Say
Cherisse saved my business. I had years of back taxes and was terrified of the IRS. She handled everything professionally and got me on a payment plan I could actually afford. I sleep better at night now.
As a first-time business owner, I was overwhelmed with bookkeeping. Cheralis Financial set me up on QuickBooks and now I actually understand my finances. Their monthly service is worth every penny.
I've been using Cheralis for my personal and business taxes for three years. They're thorough, knowledgeable, and always find deductions I would have missed. Highly recommend!
