Real money advice.

Real people.

 

 We’re The Freelance CFO.

We’re a full-service accounting, bookkeeping and tax preparation firm that empowers you and your business to achieve your own version of success by removing barriers and customizing our approach to meet you where you’re at, in order to get you where you’re going.

We believe:

Having a mortgage and student loan debt doesn’t make you bad at money.

If you went to college and have student loans for a degree you didn’t finish or don’t use it’s A-okay.⁣

You can make and save money easily, and without a traditional budget.

You can invest and have debt.

You can live a life full of ANDs, not ORs.

You can pay down debt, make more money, and live a fulfilling life.

And, most importantly, you can buy the damn latte.

We meet you where you’re at,

to get you where you want to go.

 

Our Mission

We're founded on the principles that you are deserving of compassionate access to financial education that meets you where you are.

Through our shame free approach to accounting, bookkeeping, and other financial services we bring calm out of chaos, clarity to confusion, and help you achieve success on your terms

We know managing your money can feel vulnerable. We’re here to help you make empowered and aligned choices in your life and business.

The numbers matter and YOU and your dreams matter too.

Our success is when you feel calm, cool, and confident in supporting your lifestyle with your finances.

Hey! I’m Katelyn, and I really love money.

I love investing, building, growing, talking about, and spending money. My love for all things finance is what drives me to help others achieve the same financial freedom I have.
