Meet Kat
- California CPA with 10+ years of experience
- Big 4 (EY) experience
- Practice owner & educator
- Thousands of returns prepared and reviewed
- Creator of Not So Boring CPA on YouTube
I started out in Big 4 audit and tax at EY, then built my own practice preparing and reviewing tax returns for individuals and small businesses. Ten years and thousands of returns later, the work still starts with understanding the situation and getting the details right.
I began sharing what I knew on YouTube because I wanted practical tax preparation to feel easier to understand. Students come to Not So Boring CPA to learn how to do the work, use professional software, and put their skills into practice.
That’s what I teach: practical workflows, return examples, and a clear next step in your learning.
