Hi, I’m Kat.
Let’s make tax practical.
I’m a California CPA with more than 10 years of tax preparation and review experience, including work at EY. I created Not So Boring CPA to help you connect tax concepts to the work you actually do.
My goal is to make the software and preparation process easier to follow—one practical example at a time.
