About Us: Reno–Sparks Bookkeeping, Payroll, and Small Business Web Design
Supporting Northern Nevada Small Businesses With Financial and Digital Services
C and M Companies Inc. was incorporated in 2020, bringing together two established service divisions: C & M Bookkeeping LLC, founded in 2011 by Manuel “Manny” Rivera and Charles “Charley” Blewett, and CharleyBlue Designs, founded in 2018 by Charley. Both divisions were formally added as DBAs/Tradenames when the corporation was formed.
For more than a decade, we have served northern Nevada’s small business community with dependable bookkeeping, payroll, administrative support, and digital marketing services. Our mission is to provide reliable back‑office and online‑presence solutions so local business owners can stay focused on running and growing their businesses.
C & M Bookkeeping – Our Payroll & Bookkeeping Division
Founded in 2011, C & M Bookkeeping LLC remains the foundation of C and M Companies Inc. and our core financial services division. Since our earliest days, we have supported small business owners across Reno, Sparks, and the surrounding areas with accurate, dependable bookkeeping, payroll processing, and administrative support that keeps their operations organized and compliant.
Our approach emphasizes accuracy, clarity, and communication. Whether maintaining monthly financial records, processing payroll for growing teams, or assisting with essential administrative tasks, we help business owners stay informed and confident in their numbers.
Rooted in Manuel Rivera’s formal business administration education and expanded through his professional certifications in bookkeeping and QuickBooks, C & M Bookkeeping continues to provide detail‑driven financial support to northern Nevada’s business community.
CharleyBlue Designs – Our Digital Marketing Division
Launched in 2018, CharleyBlue Designs was founded by Charley Blewett to serve the growing digital needs of construction, service‑based, and small business clients. Using WordPress and modern design principles, CharleyBlue Designs creates professional, SEO‑focused websites that help local companies increase visibility, credibility, and lead flow.
As part of C and M Companies Inc., CharleyBlue Designs provides small business owners with websites built on clean structure, keyword strategy, and best practices for long‑term search performance.
A Unified Approach to Supporting Local Businesses
Uniting both divisions—C & M Bookkeeping and CharleyBlue Designs—under the C and M Companies Inc. umbrella allows us to offer a complete support system for local companies across Reno, Sparks, and northern Nevada.
Our combined services help small business owners outsource some of their most time‑consuming tasks, from financial record‑keeping and payroll to website development and SEO‑driven digital marketing, all with a level of care, consistency, and personal attention that larger firms cannot match.
Our Background in the Reno, Nevada Business Community
Manuel Rivera – President & Co‑Founder
Manuel Rivera, president and co‑founder of C and M Companies Inc., is dedicated to helping small business owners maintain clear, accurate, and reliable financial systems. His university studies in business administration in El Salvador built a strong foundation in accounting and operations, which he later expanded through the Professional Bookkeeper and QuickBooks Specialist programs at the Universal Accounting Center.
Manuel has a passion for supporting businesses of all types—contractors, service providers, retail shops, and more—with the financial clarity they need to operate effectively. He specializes in bookkeeping, payroll management, accurate and timely tax reporting, and comprehensive back‑office administrative support. His attention to detail and commitment to service help northern Nevada business owners stay organized, compliant, and confident in their financial position.
Charley Blewett – Digital Marketing Director & Co-Founder
After a long career in construction and manufacturing, Charles “Charley” Blewett semi‑retired from field work in 2014 and transitioned into digital marketing. Drawing on his industry experience, he studied marketing principles, programming fundamentals, and modern design practices to build a new professional path that continued to serve the small business community.
In 2018, he founded CharleyBlue Designs, focusing on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and practical website strategies that help local businesses compete online. Charley later integrated this work into C and M Companies Inc., where he leads the digital marketing division. He specializes in WordPress development—particularly with Divi 5—and creates contractor‑friendly websites built with long‑term visibility in mind.
Charley continues to support small business owners across Reno, Sparks, and northern Nevada by helping them strengthen their online presence with SEO‑driven websites and results‑focused marketing support.
