An engineer’s approach to your finances

I don’t just fix the numbers. I build the system behind them.


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.

30 years in the making

She made the numbers make sense. I make sure they never stop.


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.

Brian's mother, the CPA who shaped his approach to financial work.

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

You’ve outgrown the way you handle your money.


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.

Your books are months behind.

Tax season feels like a scramble every year, even when you knew it was coming.

Your bookkeeper isn’t enough.

You have someone doing the books, but you still can’t answer basic questions about your own profitability.

You’re flying blind on decisions.

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.

The Kellcat standard

Three things that will never change about how we work.


01

Clarity over complexity.

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

Systems over guesswork.

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

Guidance over gatekeeping.

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

We start where you are. We build what you need.


01

Discovery

Where you are.

Every engagement starts with understanding where you are right now. Not where you think you should be. Where you actually are.

02

Architecture

What we build.

Clean books and a reliable monthly process. A custom dashboard. Strategic conversations on your most important decisions. Whatever the scope requires.

03

Clarity

Where you end up.

Clean books. A clear financial picture. The confidence to make decisions based on data instead of guessing.

One step to find out where you stand

Real numbers. Real clarity. Yours in a few minutes.

Whether you need a full bookkeeping solution or just want an honest assessment of how your financial systems are performing, the first step is the same: find out where things are today.
