About Me — Why I Love Working with Female Business Owners
If you’re a woman running a business and you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your cashflow or unsure how to make financial decisions with confidence — you’re not alone.
NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Kate McKeever, CPA
I’m Kate McKeever, CPA, founder of Lilac Accounting. I started my firm because something felt off in the world of accounting: many female entrepreneurs were walking into meetings with their books, feeling judged, confused, or dismissed — especially when they were trying to grow their business and take care of their lives at the same time.
I fell in love with numbers early on, but what I really love is helping women make numbers work for their lives. Whether it’s confidently paying themselves, planning for hires, or finally seeing a cashflow plan that makes sense — my mission is to help you feel empowered, capable, and in control of your money and your business.
What I Do — Cashflow Coaching That Solves Real Problems
Your bookkeeping and tax returns tell you what already happened. My cashflow coaching service is designed to help you understand what comes next — and give you clarity, confidence, and a plan that actually fits your life.
Here’s what I help business owners clarify and solve:
- 💰 Cashflow that feels predictable instead of scary
- 📅 A rhythm for paying yourself regularly and sustainably
- 📈 Understanding when and how to invest in your business
- 🧠 A financial roadmap grounded in your goals, not just numbers
- 🎯 A plan that lets you sleep easier at night
Every business — and every woman running it — has different priorities. My coaching meets you where you are and helps you move forward strategically, not just with spreadsheets but with real-world plans that feel doable.
Why I Love Working with Women in Business
When my very first client came to me because her dad’s accountant made her cry, it hit me: many female founders were not being seen, heard, or respected by the financial professionals they hired. I realized:
- Women make deeply thoughtful business decisions, but accountants often speak a language that feels intimidating.
- You deserve financial guidance that helps you feel confident — not overwhelmed.
- You deserve someone who understands your goals, your fears, and the bigger picture of your life.
That’s why I built my practice around serving women — with warmth, respect, and practical guidance that gets results.
My Approach
This isn’t outdated CPA jargon — it’s cashflow coaching that lifts the fog around your finances and helps you get clarity on your next best steps. I aim to be the financial partner you can trust — someone who:
- explains things clearly
- meets you where you are
- guides you toward the results you want
- cheers you on as you grow
