Kelly Tuohey

CPA, CA, Owner of The Financially Savvy Fempreneur

Kelly Tuohey is a CPA currently calling Okotoks AB home. Her type-A, people-pleasing, "want to be the best" personality found her at University where she graduated with a Business Admin degree in Accounting and then shortly thereafter, articling for her CPA designation at a big-4 public practice firm. But babies and public accounting lead to ultimate burnout and she left public practice after her third child was born, seven years later. Instead, she pursued her moonlighting career as a photographer and business coach, building up a wonderful photography studio until her family moved from BC to Alberta in 2018. Deciding again to pursue public practice (this time at a wonderful boutique firm), she doubled down on number crunching for small businesses and entrepreneurs. In 2022 her entrepreneurial spirit tugged once again and she ventured bravely into the online world - her mission being to empower female entrepreneurs with financial literacy & help create sustainable, profitable, joy-filled businesses through courses, education & speaking. She's married to her high school sweetheart (going on 26 years!) and, while technically a child of the 80s, identifies more strongly with themes of being raised in the 90s - of which her 3 kiddos don't like to be reminded. Truly a multi-passionate soul, she enjoys helping small business owners with all aspects of their businesses from web design to bookkeeping to photography.
