I MANAGE YOUR BOOKS SO YOU CAN MANAGE BEING AWESOME.

My business model is simple - take the hard stuff off your plate so your business can shine!

Get more productive, reduce your stress and level up your business.

You’ve tried to do your own bookkeeping before. You were off to a great start - but then your business started to grow! Keeping up with #allthethings just became so overwhelming.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You’re constantly saying “Sh*t! I forgot to pay the subcontractor!”

  • You’re last minute getting paperwork to your CPA.

  • You feel like you have no idea whether your business is growing or if you’re even making any money.

  • You’re frequently thinking “Ok. I WILL get to that stack of receipts tomorrow!” Only to push it to the side for another day….again…

Imagine what it would feel like if you knew exactly how much money your business was making everyday, what projects are wasting funds and whats bringing in the moolah!

What if I told you that you could…

  • Work on growing your business strategically.

  • See exactly what work is paying off and what isn’t.

  • Free up mental space!

  • Have your files ready early for tax season with no stress!

  • Streamline workflows and save SO much time!

  • Finally get peace of mind knowing how your business is performing.

  • Free up hours of your time per week

HEY THERE! I’M KATHRYN

I know there is no shortage of bookkeepers out there who could help you grow your firm. I know you have a choice of who you want to work with and I'd be honored to help you grow your design firm.

I also know what it's like to start your own business, while trying to juggle the responsibilities of managing a family. 

I'm a mom to the cutie on the right. I get wanting to be present for all the school functions and also wanting to have a passion and fulfill a dream of your own.

For the last 11 years, I've been working alongside companies through bookkeeping to help them grow their businesses and now I work exclusively with designers.

I'm a mission to help 100 design firms keep the cashflow in check and recession proof their business.
