About – Katherine Pomerantz

Creativity is messy.
Money doesn’t need to be.

If you want to change your money story,
you need to understand how it works…

My passion is to help business owners master their money via Money Storytelling.

As a money mentor and accountant for creatives-turned-business owners, I teach you how to communicate with money, so you can harness its creative energy and make it work for you.

In other words, I help you become a Money Storyteller.

As a former actress, I know how much creative thinkers struggle with money. We’ve “cast” money in the wrong role in our stories. Money is seen as either the villain or the treasure, but this kind of thinking is faulty because it puts money at the end of the story.

I wasn't always a money expert.

As an actress, I struggled with money. I was in an industry that glorified working hard to “earn” your place. But I wondered if financial struggle was really a prerequisite to success.

I started to get curious about money, and the statistics I learned bothered me:

the average American adult aged 38–43 had an average of $5,000 in their retirement savings account. And for those aged 44-49, the average was $13,000.
more than 50% of small business owners in the U.S. said they were just 3 months away from closing down if there was a crisis.
less than 25% of Americans expected a comfortable income when they retire.

more than 50% of small business owners in the U.S. said they were just 3 months away from closing down if there was a crisis.
less than 25% of Americans expected a comfortable income when they retire.

Learning this, something inside of me snapped. The vast majority of us were fighting the same fight – striving to balance mortgages, healthcare, loans, childcare, and credit card debt – and I had to do something to help.

So I learned accounting.

I also became a licensed tax preparer and sought out creative business owners to work with. In less than a year, I had my own accounting firm and became a money expert.

I created the Money Storyteller Framework.

This 5-step, action-based framework focuses on the implementation of your custom-built financial system.

Using this framework changes the way you think and feel about money. It allows you to rely on your natural creativity to control your finances. Because I get how much you need creative chaos to thrive and impact the world.

I also know how damaging unchecked chaos is. I want to give you a solid financial system to stand on, so your creativity is boundless.

Finally, I want to give you custom financials reports (aka Money Maps) to guide your business and make decisions about your money story well into the future.

Why it works well for creative brains.

Money Storytelling takes impersonal, financial concepts and translates them to easy, fun, and repeatable steps you can take action on immediately.
It is a co-creation process where you’re involved in determining the direction you want your business to go. You don’t just “get advice”, you become the hero of your own money story.
Financial stability isn’t a destination but a journey, so Money Storytelling allows you to refine the system as your business grows. You put your creativity to work.
It adapts traditional business wisdom to your unconventional business.

"I've loved working with Katherine and the Bookkeeping Artist team. They've not only taken care of the day-to-day details for us, but they've been instrumental in helping us develop strategies for the future. The best part of adding them to our team is that now we focus on making quality podcasts for our listeners, knowing that our books are in order and our company is in great shape."

"My name is McKenzie and I’m a full time wedding photographer. Before I worked with Katherine I struggled so much with organization and taxes. As creatives, our brains don't operate in a way that easily understands the financial side of things. They also don't teach you this stuff in art school...

Since working with Katherine, I was able to reorganize my business and take charge of my business financially. She broke down terms I didn't understand and I never feel judged when chatting with her. She honestly cares and you can tell.

Hiring Katherine is an easy choice if you want to take complete charge of your business both creatively and financially."

"My name is Jennifer Walschap and I run Imagine Music and Arts. After about 3 years in business, I felt I had hit a wall with my finances. I felt limited by money and my budget, and my business goals felt like distant dreams. I knew I needed someone’s help, but I didn’t know who or what I needed.

Since meeting Katherine and learning about her Chaos Money Framework, I knew I had found the answer. In the 6 months I have been working with her, I have a renewed sense of control over my business and my goals feel attainable! I am learning how to use money to my benefit, rather than let it hold me back.

Hiring Katherine is the best thing you can do for your business, especially if you are feeling stuck or stagnant. She somehow makes talking about money fun and exciting, and you will feel inspired again after working with her!

I'm not your typical money expert. I don’t do corporate gobbledygook. You'll walk away with a clear, simple plan to help you get unstuck, and live a life with more opportunities and less limitations.
I’m also not your typical bookkeeper. I believe you deserve so much more than just recording financial transactions and balancing books. I offer insight to help you realize your vision, mission and values. That said, I’m not a financial advisor, business coach or startup incubator. And even when I touch on these overlapping subjects, my approach is very different.
You get the benefit of working with a licensed tax professional and partner to trusted financial software companies like Quickbooks. You have the support of a trusted expert who lets nothing slip through the cracks.
I never talk over you or belittle your dream. I am guided by only one vision - yours. You will enjoy working with a fellow dreamer. No judgment. No scolding. Just compassionate hand-holding by someone who gets you.
Results - Nothing says it more than a success story. Listen to a few of the people I’ve helped go from money-stressed to financially empowered. I’ll let them tell you all about it.

If you’ve made the choice to take yourself and your craft more seriously,
and you’re looking for partnership to meet your money goals, Money Storytelling is for you.

And as you continue on your own unique path towards creative fulfillment and financial stability,
I hope to provide the inspiration and support you need.
