Accounting Should Feel a Lot Less Complicated.
I started Aligned Consulting because I wanted to give business owners the kind of accounting support I believe they deserve: clear, practical, and built around the way their business actually operates.
My background is in corporate and small business accounting, with experience across construction, real estate, professional services, and multi-entity businesses. I’ve always been the person who wants to understand why something isn’t working, and build a better path forward.
More About Kristin
That same approach is what I bring to Aligned. Sometimes that means cleaning up the books. Sometimes it means improving a process, rebuilding a financial system, or simply helping a business owner understand what the numbers are actually saying.
My goal is to make accounting feel less overwhelming and more useful. You should be able to understand your numbers, trust the systems behind them, and feel confident about the business you’re building.
Outside of work, I’m building a life with my family, raising two boys, and usually working on some new idea or project.
Aligned is here to make your accounting clearer, your systems stronger, and your business easier to manage.

Selected Engagements
Ten Years of History, Rebuilt
Roughly a decade of financials that had never been properly reconciled. The work was tracing activity back through the years, separating the balances that could be supported from the ones that had simply been carried forward, resolving what did not agree, and rebuilding an accounting trail that could actually be reviewed.
Migrations Where the Accounting Survives
Moving between systems is not moving transactions. Receivables, payables, payroll and payroll liabilities, fixed assets and depreciation, retained earnings, and the balance sheet all have to arrive intact and still tie to what they were before. QuickBooks migrations and system rebuilds, with the historical activity validated rather than assumed.
Automation Built from the Accounting Out
Internal tools that standardize repetitive work, validate data before it reaches the ledger, and surface exceptions for a person to review. Automation that encodes an accounting decision nobody has examined only produces the same errors faster.
