About
Thank you for taking a minute to learn more about RAWGOLD Wealth Management Services! My name is Holly Nehls. I am a certified bookkeeper and Quickbooks ProAdvisor and have been working as a management consultant and bookkeeper for 8 years.
I studied small business management at Portland Community College and obtained my bachelors degree at Portland State University. I have worked in Credit and Collections, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and other administrative support positions in large companies and decided to branch off to support small businesses in 2009.
My first real client was a small startup company called Konect Aviation who needed bookkeeping services on a budget back in 2010. I had developed a friendship with one of the partners and my role grew from there. In 2015 I bought out those original partners and grew the company to expand services and balance the bottom line in a seasonal industry.
There were some lessons in this venture for me, 1) I am great at and enjoy research, planning and crunching numbers but not so much the operations end of things; 2) aviation as an industry has subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways of resisting female leadership; and 3) my joy comes from helping others achieve their dreams.
Long story short, in February 2018 I sold the company to a long-time colleague and have decided to get back to that original vision and keep my focus there. At the moment I am focusing on my new business plan and getting excited about the ways RAWGOLD can help your small business build a solid foundation for owner-defined success.

The “just” don’t always prevail in the standard sense and sometimes getting out of the line of fire to …
The Bittersweet Taste of Change – Part Two
In my previous blog post, I reflected on one of the two major issues that lead to the decision to sell my aviation company. Having covered the extended closure of the main runway at the McMinnville Municipal Airport as the first factor, now I’ll touch on the other… maintenance on a major piece of equipment. …

The Bittersweet Taste of Change – Part One
There were several reasons I decided to sell my business but, if I’m completely honest, it was a necessity. In the end it was two big factors that affected the need to sell; 1) an extended construction project practically eliminating fuel revenue in the off-season and 2) major maintenance on a key piece of equipment. …
