I'm Kat - a financial strategist by trade, and a creative at heart.
For over a decade, I’ve worked behind the scenes in finance and accounting, leading teams, managing billion-dollar budgets, and helping executives make sense of the numbers. From navigating high-level mergers to handling the fine print of service agreements and vendor contracts, I know what it takes to keep things running smoothly when the stakes are high.
But here's the thing - I’ve also been on the other side.
The late nights prepping for conventions. The hustle of trying to run a small brand solo. Balancing your "Must Do's" with your "Would Love to Do's". The passion projects, self-taught skills, and community-led events that don’t always fit in a spreadsheet (but matter just as much).
I’m a self-taught body painter, trading card collector, and lifelong lover of board and video games. I’ve been invited to gaming cons, hosted local fundraising galas, and proudly served on the board of a domestic violence nonprofit as both Secretary and Vice President. I’ve built things from scratch — just like you.
So when I say I get it, I really do.
I created Aureus Advisory to be the bridge I wish more creatives had:
A financial partner who understands the creative grind and brings structure, clarity, and confidence to your business behind the scenes.
