Kara Kettelkamp, CPA

I love the moment an owner looks at their numbers and finally gets it. Most of the people I work with are brilliant at their trade and were never taught the money side. My job is to teach, not lecture, and to build the kind of trust where you can ask anything.

I'm a CPA and a former KPMG auditor, so I know what clean books look like and what lenders and the IRS expect to see. I bring that same standard to small businesses, minus the jargon.

I've also spent years building systems and teams in operations. That means I care about setups that actually fit how you work, so your books stay clean without eating your evenings.
