Kerry Smithies is a CPA, long-time QuickBooks ProAdvisor, and business owner who works at the intersection of financial analysis, technology, and real client conversations. She combines deep hands-on experience with accounting systems, automation, and AI tools with practical financial understanding grounded in day-to-day work with business owners.

Alongside her technical work, Kerry is known for her focus on building sustainable, intentional businesses. After years of running a growing practice while raising two daughters as a single parent, she has deliberately shaped a business that supports both professional success and a balanced life. That lived experience informs how she teaches — with an emphasis on clarity, judgment, and conversations that actually help clients make better decisions, rather than producing information for its own sake.

Kerry brings a practical, grounded perspective to her sessions, helping practitioners connect financial insight, modern tools, and meaningful client communication in a way that supports better outcomes for both businesses and the professionals who serve them.
