My Story
The Herding Cats Journey So Far
As a local business accountant for over 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with mid-sized businesses just like yours. I’ve seen firsthand the dreams you’re working toward and the unique obstacles you face. That’s why I’m committed to providing more than just solutions—I offer a partnership, built on experience and a shared commitment to your success. My mission at Herding Cats Accounting is to help you overcome the financial chaos of running a company so you can focus on the passion that drives you. I am a licensed CPA working in Northern Colorado that specializes in helping mid-sized businesses. I believe that with the right guidance, we can together, turn your aspirations into reality.
You’re building your business right here in our community. You know your customers, you know your competitors, and you know what it takes to succeed in our unique market. So shouldn’t your accountant be more than a faceless voice on the phone? What if you could work with an accountant who gets your accounts right the first time AND who’s also just plain fun to work with?
I recently worked with a client in Greeley who was frustrated with an overseas general accounting firm they’d hired. Every meeting felt like missed opportunities for communication, and a bunch of vague answers with no real understanding. The client felt lost, and weren’t entirely sure who their money was going to. We not only straightened their accounts out and brought them into reconciliation with U.S. and Colorado guidelines, but I was also able to find deductions and credits they should be claiming that were previously lost in a slew of untamed paperwork. Now, they say it feels like I’m part of their team, not just a line item on the monthly bills. Best of all, they now have a real understanding of how their accounts are organized, and where to find any line items they need with a moment’s notice.
That’s why I founded Herding Cats Accounting. I’m a professional local business accountant right here in Fort Collins, Loveland, and the wider Northern Colorado area. I’m a licensed CPA working in Northern Colorado that specializes in helping mid-sized businesses. This article will show you how my expertise in business tax and financial planning for local companies in Larimer, Weld & Boulder Counties can help your business thrive. I’m more than just business bookkeeping; I’m your fractional controller and full-time partner.

What Sets Me Apart from Competitors
More Than Just Bookkeeping: A Full-Service Partnership
The most important takeaway for any growing business owner is this: more than just business bookkeeping is required for long-term success. While bookkeeping is essential for tracking your company’s past, a strategic financial partner helps you plan for its future.
At Herding Cats Accounting, I don’t just record transactions; I turn your financial data into actionable intelligence. I offer proactive tax planning, growth-focused financial strategy, and regular financial reviews that provide clear insights.
My commitment to you goes beyond the end of the month or the end of the year. If your current accountant only talks to you in April, you’re not getting a CPA—you’re getting a time machine.
Taming the Tax Man: Strategies for Your Bottom Line
When you’re searching for the best Northern Colorado business accounting firms, you’re really looking for a partner who can help you keep more of your hard-earned money.
My focus on business tax and financial planning goes far beyond simply filing your return. I actively work with you throughout the year and within changing U.S. and Colorado tax laws to identify tax credits & incentives available specifically for small to mid-sized businesses. I also have an eye for finding legal tax loopholes that bigger firms use but smaller businesses often miss.
My goal is simple: to make sure you’re keeping every dollar you legally can, not giving it away to Uncle Sam.
Payroll & Financial Advice: Simplifying the Daily Grind
Managing employee payroll can be one of the most time-consuming and high-risk parts of running your business. It’s a task that has to be done perfectly, every time. I handle all the complexities, from calculating wages and withholdings to ensuring timely tax filings, so you can focus on your core business.
As a business CPA, I provide sophisticated, ongoing financial and tax advice for businesses. This level of professional guidance can make a world of difference when you’re making critical decisions about expansion, borrowing capital, new hires, or major investments.
