Who I Am

I live a life just outside convention, thinking of myself rather like a nice spicy vanilla.  I’ve reinvented myself countless times and will no doubt continue to do so until I die.    I’ve lived drunk and sober, married and single, straight and gay.  I’ve been the professional and the student, the leader and the loyal follower, the lover and latchkey kid.

All too many times, I’ve been smart and stupid, wise and very unwise, kind and sadly cruel.   I’ve looked in the mirror to find Coach, Clown, Laura Croft, Jabba the Hut with a little Road Kill in between.

You name it, I’ve probably given myself that title too.  It’s exhausting living by labels. Here’s to just being the multi-faceted Kellie, striving to be the best possible person she can be in our wonderfully complex world.

Life is Sweetest When You Can Have Your Cake And Eat It Too…

Kellie Cowles, Perennial Bookkeeping
“I adore solving puzzles and creating accurate financial statements is the best!”

30 years ago I started my career working in insurance offices, learning all facets of the operations, before settling in accounting.  It was in working with numbers that I found true passion because it allowed me to create complete order and accuracy in an area that is vital to a successful business.  In the years since, I’ve both built two freelance bookkeeping businesses and managed the accounting needs of many employers.

Knowing exactly what you owe others and what others owe you are key to the health and growth of your business.  Knowing where your business is profitable and where it is not, is of the greatest importance in guiding the direction of your business.

If your records are in a shoebox seen only at tax time, you are flying blind.  If your records are computerized but full of inaccuracies, your financial statements are all but useless.   I understand how frustrating it can be to work hard at growing your business without having an accurate understanding of the financial health of your company.

I can help you change all that.  References available.

Perennial Strength Health & Fitness Coaching
“Bringing Out The Best In Your Body”
Since 2008, I have been coaching personal clients to achieve their fitness goals.  When I left the CrossFit industry in 2015, I created Perennial Strength to continue offering fitness services to my private clients.  I’ve learned that I no longer have the desire or drive to maintain the extreme level of marketing and networking required to sustain a truly successful fitness coaching business.  So, I’ve stopped the relentless pursuit of “standing out, being unique and staying relevant.” I still LOVE training  private clients and will keep coaching for as long as I’m needed.  I simply refuse to continue chasing the gold ring.
