"Kathy doesn't just find candidates—she finds solutions," notes a longtime client. "She takes time to understand our business challenges and identifies leaders who can address those specific needs. Her CPA background means she asks the right questions and truly understands what we're looking for in our financial leadership."

"My role is to be a strategic partner to my clients, not just a vendor," Kathy emphasizes. "Every organization has unique needs, challenges, and culture. My job is to truly understand those factors and identify financial leaders who can drive meaningful impact. The trust my clients place in me to help build their leadership teams is something I take very seriously."
