Heather Kwitschau is the focus of this week's, Top ProAdvisor Profile. She was recognized as one
of Insightful Accountant's 2024 Top 25 Up-n-coming ProAdvisors.
Heather is a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and is the founder of The Executive Geek. Their mission statement is "to impact the world in a positive way by empowering nonprofit leaders." Their slogan is "Get Geek'd Out!"
In addition to her QuickBooks Certification, Heather also holds a Gusto People Advisory Certification.
As you can probably tell from her firm's mission statement, the Executive Geek specializes in nonprofit bookkeeping, offering full-service Client Advisory Services (CAS).
They provide comprehensive financial management support, ensuring accurate bookkeeping, financial reporting, and compliance while delivering strategic guidance to enhance financial performance. By utilizing the latest cloud-based accounting tools, we offer seamless and efficient financial oversight, enabling organizations to focus on their mission.
Whether it's day-to-day bookkeeping, grant tracking, or acting in a part-time controller capacity, Heather's firm tailors their services to meet the unique needs of each nonprofit. In fact, Heather strives to work so closely with her clients, she seems, to many of them, more like a member of their team rather than as a consultant.
That pretty well demonstrates what it means to be a "trusted advisor."
Insightful Accountant asked, "how her Up-n-Coming ProAdvisor Award fit into the firm's overall mission?" Heather responded:
Being recognized as an Up-n-Coming award recipient has been a great reinforcement of our commitment to integrity, continual improvement, and a growth mindset. This recognition echoes the trust our clients place in us to deliver accurate, ethical financial advice while continuously enhancing our skills and services.
By staying at the forefront of accounting practices and technology, we not only improve our own expertise but also empower our clients to grow and achieve greater financial success.
We also asked Heather if she had "been able to leverage her ProAdvisor Award to promote her firm?", she responded:
Receiving an Up-n-Coming ProAdvisor award has reinforced our commitment to excellence and upholding the reputation that comes with such recognition. This award has benefited our firm by enhancing our credibility and trustworthiness in the eyes of clients, who know they are working with a highly skilled and reputable team.
This recognition also motivates our team to continue pushing for innovation, staying ahead of industry trends, and providing exceptional service, further positioning our firm as a leader in the nonprofit accounting space.
When asked if there was anything she would like to share about her 'home life', Heather replied:
Personally, I love being an active member of my local community, volunteering in youth leadership at our church and serving on the Board for Batavia United Way.
Alongside my husband of 19 years and our 3 kids and dogs, we share a love for the great outdoors and have a family goal of camping in every state while visiting as many U.S. National Parks as possible.
