My clients call me their financial fairy godmother.

On the surface, my career has looked like a fun ride. From starting out as an Interior Designer, then launching a prepared meal delivery business (before they were popular), to moving across the country and working at a yoga studio while volunteering to teach university students how to cook.

Since 2009, I’ve started 6 businesses, worked in 3 startups as an employee, and had side hustles from cater waitering to working at a friend’s micro-brewery.

Throughout my business building journey, I didn't understand how the money worked in my business. I went through cycles of burn out and debt, carrying $1,000’s in credit card debt, which incurred $1,000’s in interest. And those cycles continued until I learned how to manage my business finances.

A move led me to the West Coast of Canada, where in more recent years, I became the co-founder of a management accounting firm (total left turn right?!). 

Growing that business alongside my Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and accountant co-founders, I not only learned how I was supposed to manage business finances, but also became passionate about financial literacy for creative business owners.

I’ve seen the same stress and shame I had experienced in my early business owner days in the hundreds of businesses I’ve spoken with and supported since 2017.

And that’s why I founded Koddo & Co. — to level the playing field and help creative business owners shed light onto the blackhole of their business finances, so they can build profitable businesses with steady cash flow and pay themselves way better than a decent salary!

I can’t wait to support you, too.
