Co-founder of Foxglove Financial Services. Kirstie’s expertise lies in comprehensive accounting for companies of all sizes and stages.

Background

I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with over nine years of experience in accounting, tax, and consulting services across various industries and business sizes. My career began in public accounting in 2015, where I prepared tax returns and performed audit and attest services. Since earning my CPA license in 2018, I have worked in diverse roles, including accounting for private equity funds and real estate development projects, consulting small businesses on QuickBooks Online, and serving as an accounting and office manager. This breadth of experience has given me a deep understanding of how companies operate from the ground up.

Passion

I am passionate about solving problems for my clients. Whether it’s reconciling a long-standing account issue or tackling complex tax problems, I find great satisfaction in removing barriers to efficiency.

Unique Skills and Expertise

With a background in both public accounting (auditing and preparing taxes for large companies) and as a consultant and accounting/office manager for small companies, I offer a unique perspective on how businesses should run in theory and in practice.

Hobbies and Interests

In my free time, I enjoy a variety of crafting projects (crochet, knitting, sewing), caring for my animals (chickens and cats), playing piano, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.

Fun Facts

Before my accounting career, I worked in restaurants as a server and prep cook. This experience fostered my love for customer service (and food). The pride I felt in providing a great dining experience translates to my professional career, and the communication and time management skills I developed in a busy dining room have been invaluable in my accounting work.

Mission and Values

My mission is to help clients achieve their business goals. I understand that success looks different for each person and business, and I am dedicated to learning what motivates my clients so we can work together to make those goals a reality. I believe that even small businesses deserve the highest level of service, enabling them to grow into big businesses.
