Kavanagh Accountancy Consulting

I’m an independent accountant with experience in both Canadian and US individual tax filings, Canadian and US sole proprietor tax filings, small corporation filings, Canadian NFP filings, and not-for-profit running experience. I also have incorporation, cash handling, documentation, training, and organizational skills from a variety of positions over the last 25 years.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from UIUC in the US, and completed all but 4 classes of my Master’s in Accountancy at DePaul. I regularly volunteer with the CVITP and a local charity to run tax clinics.

I identify as a queer woman with a joy for makerspaces, furry conventions, sci-fi events, and doing new things. I’ve lived in all sorts of privileged, and not so much, spaces. I have a gender-diverse clientele and have experience with filings from all tax brackets.

My philosophies are centered on the idea that anyone can learn a skill given the right teachers and circumstances, and that we are all ultimately one community. I also encourage self-care, support alternative learning styles, and delight in helping others better their own paths. If you want to learn, I will help, even if it means that you do your own paperwork in the future. The best part of my day is learning a new thing and I am the first to admit when I don't know something or spoke in error.

I live with part of my poly constellation and actively participate in several ongoing community events as I can. I try not to let my disabilities slow me down too much.

I offer a free consultation up to 30 minutes for new clients to get a feel for my working style, bookable on my website calendar. Let’s talk about how we can work together to meet your needs!
