Katie Hanna isn’t just the host of this podcast—she’s a Business Financial Partner to the people she serves every day.
As the owner of Details Matter Bookkeeping & Advisory, Katie brings a relationship-first approach to conversations about business ownership, financial clarity, and what it really looks like to grow something sustainable.

This podcast is an extension of that same philosophy.
Each episode is rooted in real experiences—whether Katie is sharing her own perspective or sitting down with other business owners and professionals to unpack the realities behind their work. From navigating growth and decision-making to building stronger financial foundations, the goal is always the same: to make business feel more clear, more supported, and a little less overwhelming.
Katie doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, and she definitely doesn’t believe bookkeeping should feel transactional.
