From my first conversation with Kala of McBride CPAs, I knew I’d found a friend for life. I know that sounds crazy, but I really mean it! From the very beginning of our conversation we were laughing and chatting as though we’d known each other for years. Kala just has this way about her that can make anyone feel comfortable. This is a big part of what she does as owner of McBride CPAs! Keep reading to find out what I mean.

What Makes McBride CPAs Stand Out

Kala primarily works with female small business owners who are busy, driven and just in need of a little help with virtual accounting. These topics can be intimidating and Kala’s approach is welcoming and warm. This allows her clients to relax and feel comfortable. As a result, her clients feel confident and in control of their finances. This is a wonderful feeling as a small business owner!

Small Business Ownership and Motherhood

Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, Kala worked hard to find a way to build a business that would allow her to stay home. This helps her stay present with her entire family. These days so many parents and guardians are balancing both work and taking care of their little ones at the same time. It was important to Kala to include this part of her life in her branding session and I fully supported this decision. Plus, I got to meet her sweet girls which I loved!

Work with Kala

While she is based out of Carmel, Indiana and loves meeting her clients for coffee, Kala is virtual and serves clients all over the country. Kala loves working with female entrepreneurs who are driven and perhaps just a tad intimidated by accounting and taxes in their business. Sound familiar? Reach out to Kala here.
