About us
Meet the CPA Who Wants You to Love Running Your Business Again
When we partner with your business, we provide so much more than a bare-bones accounting service. We provide friendly, trusted advice that fosters confidence and peace of mind. We care about the success of your business just as much as you do.
Your Business Deserves a Trusted Advisor who becomes part of your team.
It is about knowing you have someone to call when questions come up, understanding where your business stands, and having the right financial support as your needs change.
We build ongoing relationships with clients so questions are part of the partnership—not simply another hourly invoice.
Experience Trust
After 30 years working for a Fortune 500 company and small CPA firms, Kathy took a leap of faith to start Kathleen J Herrera CPA LLC because she watched too many passionate business owners spend evenings buried in paperwork instead of doing the things they enjoy and are most meaningful to the success of the business. You know, things like catching up on bookkeeping instead of having dinner with their families.
She believed there had to be a better way.
That’s why Kathy focuses on ongoing partnerships instead of once-a-year tax preparation. Why not let someone who loves accounting work do it for you so you can do what you love and matters most? Think of Kathy as your accounting teammate—without adding another employee to payroll.
Kathy keeps her client base small so she can provide personalized service with quality results. She believes great accounting starts with understanding the people behind the business—not just the numbers. She always asks the right questions to get to know the business owners as well as their business.
When you partner with Kathleen J. Herrera CPA, business finances are handled. Your time is given back. Your business is ready to grow.
