Kathryn Maxson-Landis

Katye received her Certified Public Accountant (CPA) credential in 2011, after working in public accounting for seven years as an auditor and staff accountant. Prior to that, she worked as a bookkeeper and business administrator for 13 years. Katye’s greatest strengths are her experience and perspective; she can relate not only to her clients’ managerial challenges, but also to those of their staff on the front lines and back rooms of retail and bookkeeping. A champion of fiscal literacy and best practices for the cannabis industry, she brings more than 20 years of experience in accounting, bookkeeping, and administrative solutions for small businesses with a variety of structures.

As the Lead Educator for The Moxy Accountant, she has led workshops hosted by the National Accounting and Finance Show, Oregon and Washington Society of CPAs, and the Western CPE in Montana. Katye’s clients and colleagues appreciate her blend of humorous irreverence, professional inquisitiveness, and intellectual skepticism for just about everything. Both inside and outside of the office, Katye is a co-parent, spouse, educator, mentor, ally, advisor, and friend.
