Carola Rafferty

Treasurer

Carola moved to Fountain in 2015 after her husband's military service was abruptly ended due to his medical retirement. She is the owner of Carola's Tax Assistance LLC and provides affordable tax preparation, bookkeeping and payroll services for individuals and small businesses. As a mother of four princesses, she understands how vital and important early childhood education really is.

During the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown, Carola with the help of her family and as CFO of Reach Pikes Peak, was one of the few resources in the area to provide food, rental and utility assistance for local families. Knowing that the Fountain Valley is classified as a daycare desert, Carola decided to get involved in the creation of the Association to make a meaningful and lasting change in her community.

As an immigrant and small business owner herself, she provides coaching and help from registering your business to bookkeeping and record keeping to tax preparation services for new and established businesses in various professions.

Carola is very excited to be part of the FV CARES Team and to create new job opportunities for stay-at-home parents as well as help address the daycare shortage in the Fountain Valley.
