About Us: Reno–Sparks Bookkeeping, Payroll, and Small Business Digital Marketing & Web Design
Supporting northern Nevada small businesses with accounting and digital marketing services since 2011
C and M Companies Inc. was incorporated in 2020, bringing together two established service divisions: C & M Bookkeeping LLC, founded in 2011 by Manny Rivera and 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 accounting 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 Manny’s formal business administration education and expanded through his professional certifications in bookkeeping and QuickBooks, C & M Bookkeeping continues to provide detail‑driven accounting 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.
