Meet Kathy
Kathy McWhorter
Kathy works with landscape companies to bring structure, accuracy, and consistency to their financial operations. She most often supports organizations using Aspire, ensuring the data flowing through the system aligns with their accounting platform and reflects the reality of the business.
When Aspire and the accounting system aren’t aligned, teams struggle to trust the dollars behind their decisions.
Accounting
Where Accounting Breaks Down
Kathy most often works with companies where:
Aspire and the accounting system don’t reconcile cleanly
Month-end close feels manual, rushed, or inconsistent
Job costing looks right in Aspire but doesn’t match the books
Leaders are forced to react to financial results instead of managing them proactively
These issues don’t usually come from bad intentions, they come from systems that were never fully aligned.
A Practical, Systems-Aligned Approach
Kathy focuses on helping teams understand how their operational systems connect to their accounting platform and how to use that connection correctly month after month. While her deepest expertise is with Aspire, her work centers on building accounting structures that reflect how a landscape business actually runs, regardless of the tools in place. Her work commonly includes:
Training teams on Aspire’s End-of-Month checklist and close process
Ensuring dollars flow accurately from operational systems into the accounting platform
Reviewing and cleaning up accounting data to improve accuracy and confidence
Restructuring the Chart of Accounts to better align with landscape operations and industry best practices
Building annual budgets that align with both the Chart of Accounts and operational data
The goal is simple: create a financial structure that supports how the business actually operates—not just how the software is configured.
How Kathy Supports Business Owners and Finance Teams
Kathy works with business owners and finance teams who want clearer financial visibility and fewer surprises at month-end. For Aspire users, that often means tightening the connection between production data and accounting. For teams using other platforms, it means applying the same discipline and structure so leadership can see the numbers proactively, not reactively.
Regardless of the system, Kathy helps teams trust their numbers, close their books with confidence, and use financial data to make better decisions.
