An engineer’s approach to your finances
For 11 years, I built software systems in aerospace and defense — the kind of environment where a single data error can cascade through an entire operation. I learned to think in architecture: how do the pieces connect, where are the failure points, and what does the system need to be reliable under pressure?
That’s the mindset I bring to your finances. Not just accurate numbers, but a system that holds up, delivers clarity, and actually helps you make better decisions.

My mother was a CPA for 30 years. She didn’t just process tax returns — she sat across the table from business owners and helped them understand what their numbers meant.
I watched her do that my entire life. And when I started meeting business owners who were stuck — making money but still feeling lost, working hard but flying blind — I realized I’d inherited something from her: the ability to take complicated data and make it useful.
My mother — the original Kellcat.
“I don’t just see numbers that need fixing. I see a system that needs building.”
The difference is I also spent a decade building systems. Reliable ones. The kind designed to hold up under real pressure.
Kellcat is the combination of those two things — my mother’s gift for making numbers make sense, and an engineer’s instinct for building systems that actually work.
Built for business owners like you
I work with business owners past the startup phase — generating revenue, serving clients, running real businesses. But your financial systems haven’t caught up to where you are. If any of this sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
Tax season feels like a scramble every year, even when you knew it was coming.
You have someone doing the books, but you still can’t answer basic questions about your own profitability.
Every choice — hiring, pricing, expansion — feels like a guess, not a calculation.
Whatever the specifics, the core problem is the same: you don’t have the financial clarity you need to make confident decisions.
Industries I focus on
The Kellcat standard
01
Your financial picture should be simple enough to understand at a glance and detailed enough to act on with confidence. If your reports confuse you, the reports are the problem — not you.
02
A good financial decision made once is luck. A good financial decision made consistently is a system. I build the systems that make consistency possible.
03
Your numbers belong to you. You should understand them, not just receive them. My job isn’t to hold your financial data hostage — it’s to make sure you know exactly what it means and what to do with it.
No cookie-cutter solutions
Discovery
Every engagement starts with understanding where you are right now. Not where you think you should be. Where you actually are.
Architecture
Clean books and a reliable monthly process. A custom dashboard. Strategic conversations on your most important decisions. Whatever the scope requires.
Clarity
Clean books. A clear financial picture. The confidence to make decisions based on data instead of guessing.
