Carolyn T. Bryson, President
I enjoy mentoring others who want to pursue
their dream of having their own business. That
is why I started ADDENDA Solutions a few
years ago as a business consulting firm.
We write business plans, marketing plans, and
coach entrepreneurs (whether new or seasoned),
while consulting business owners when specific
needs or problems arise once their business is up
and running.
Should you and I work together in helping you
successfully pursue your endeavor, you will
benefit by my diverse professional and
educational background and experience.
During 1979 through 1993, I held several
positions with various financial institutions in
the area of consumer and commercial lending:
Central Trust Bank
Regional Sales Manager,
Household Finance Corp.
Vice President of RGP Funding, Inc.
Senior Residential and Commercial
Loan Officer, Marine Midland Bank
Since 1993, I have applied my professional
experience as a former banker to the field of
alternative dispute resolution, having worked
for a state government agency, a non-profit
organization, and now as an entrepreneur
of two businesses:

Lisa Pelletier, Owner of Pelletier
Accounting and Tax Service
After 10 years of working in a man's world
and not getting credit for my work, I decided t
o start my own practice, which is minutes away
from my residence. Being a mother with two
small children and loving what I do, my life is
very rich and complete. I have experienced many
ups and downs while running my own business:
servicing and satisfying my clients, finding reliable employees, surviving economic cycles, and
balancing growing expenses with revenues.
In spite of all the challenges, I love what I do.
I enjoy seeing people take an idea and succeeding
with it. It's fun watching people grow and succeed.
Without the support of my husband and family, I
could not do it. My number one advice to anyone
thinking about starting their business is "enjoy
what you do! Make what you love your career,
otherwise you will be miserable.”
