Kellie brings over 30 years of experience in accounting, finance, business development, and business management. She began her career at a CPA firm that specialized in non-profit audits, where she gained expertise in investigative accounting. Over the years, these skills have proven invaluable to numerous clients who may have encountered challenges in maintaining their financial records. A relocation to Seattle, WA, due to her husband's employment, led Kellie to transition into corporate accounting. As the Finance Director of an international life insurance agency with 17 locations across the United States and Canada, she managed not only accounting and finance matters but also Human Resources. Upon relocating to Portland, she became a partner in a Timber By-Products company while simultaneously continuing her responsibilities in Seattle for the subsequent nine months. As a Corporate Officer, Kellie was responsible for governance, finance, HR, strategic planning, risk management, and business processes for several years. In addition to this role, Kellie provided consulting services to external companies, supporting them in business development, HR, business formation, and financial management.

 

In 2008, Kellie decided to pursue her passion and solely focus on aiding other companies with their Financial, HR, and Management operations by forming KCL Consulting NW, Inc. (KCLNW). Her extensive experience allows her to offer customized solutions for businesses of all sizes and industries, regardless of the type of business matter involved. Her dedication and commitment to her clients are invaluable. She genuinely cares about their success and works tirelessly to help them achieve it.

 

When she’s not behind her computer she can be found gardening, baking, on road trips and hiking with her husband of over 30 years, and spending time with their children, extended family and friends.
