Background

Jkath Design Build + Reinvent was founded in 2010 as a custom cabinetry business. Since then, the team has grown their services to include all things design, including architecture, space planning, renovation, millwork, design, and even a retail line of cabinetry.

Previously, Jkath struggled to find a partner whose work was transformational, not transactional. The leadership team sought an accounting and bookkeeping firm that would understand the nuances of their business and act as a strategic partner as their business expands. Together, we have built a relationship of trust that helped Jkath move forward and thrive as a company.

How KeyLin Supported Jkath

Our team pushed Jkath to think critically and creatively about their operations, leading to more sophisticated methods of accounting and more diverse income streams.
