The CPA Who Cares


Hi, I’m Katie!

I’m a CPA based in Dunedin, Florida, and I built Saddle Hill CPA because I believe business owners deserve more than a once-a-year tax appointment, emails that go unanswered, and a pile of forms to sign after a generic meeting. 

What I do is different. I work with established, service-based business owners who are ready for a real financial partner, someone who knows their numbers, thinks ahead with them, and helps them make confident decisions all year long, not just at tax time.

I am passionate about helping people stay informed and stay in business. It’s hard out there. Your numbers don’t have to be, with the help of Saddle Hill CPA. 

Why I Do This Work


A Financial Partner, Not Just A Preparer

I’ve been in accounting long enough to know what most business owners are missing, and it’s not more software or a bigger spreadsheet. It’s a trusted person who actually understands their full financial picture and communicates it clearly.

As a business owner myself, I know what it feels like to carry the financial weight alone. The questions that keep you up at night. The decisions you’re not sure how to evaluate. The tax bill that came in higher than expected because nobody was planning ahead. That’s exactly what I help my clients avoid. 

I built this practice to be the kind of financial partnership I wished more business owners had access to: comprehensive, proactive, and genuinely relationship-centered.

Working Together & What To Expect


Clarity Over Complexity

I translate the financial details into plain language so you always know what’s happening and why it matters; no jargon, no confusion.

Proactive, Not Reactive

Tax prep is a snapshot in time. Ongoing advisory services keep us in conversation all year, so when life changes, we are already ahead of it.

A Real Relationship

I keep my client list intentional so I can give every person the attention they deserve.
