About Us
I’m Katrina
My professional journey is rooted in the arts—first as a maker, then as an organizer—where I spent over a decade immersed in creative practice and collaborative leadership. This path led me to work with non-profits and cultural institutions, where I co-designed public education programs and crafted fundraising strategies that helped visionary projects come to life. In these dynamic environments, I developed a deep understanding of what it takes to keep mission-driven teams organized, accountable, and financially sound. My affinity for structure, detail, and long-term planning naturally evolved into a passion for bookkeeping.
Today, alongside my team, I bring that same creative care, operational clarity, and consistency to small and mid-sized businesses—from arts organizations to wellness studios, service providers, and retail ventures. As co-founder and principal of DownNorth Bookkeeping, I help build tailored financial foundations that support sustainable growth. Because behind every business is a system that makes good decisions possible—and I love being a part of that process.
“Creative businesses don’t fail because of bad ideas—they fail because systems are in chaos or don’t exist at all, especially those related to money.”
