About Katherine Whatley
An enthusiast of smiles, hard work, local museums, and Google Calendar.Born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana, and Flower Mound, Texas, I’ve always had a knack for numbers and a zest for life. That journey led me to Louisiana State University’s E.J. Ourso College of Business, where I earned my Bachelor’s of Science in Accounting in May 2024 and Master of Accountancy in May 2025. Geaux Tigers!Today, I’m proud to begin my career as an Audit Associate at KPMG in Houston, Texas, while also pursuing my CPA license. My mission is to bring positivity, creativity, and integrity to the accounting profession — redefining what it means to be an accountant.During my time at LSU, I served as President of Beta Alpha Psi, served as the Office of the Dean graduate assistant, and represented LSU globally as their first student to attend KPMG’s Global Advantage Program in Brussels, Belgium. Outside of work, I’m the owner and operator of Kat Paints Clothes, a custom-painted jean jacket business with over 300 one-of-a-kind pieces created. What started as a creative outlet has become a way to spread joy and individuality — one jacket at a time.I thrive on putting my heart into everything I do, whether it’s tackling complex audit engagements or building community in and outside of the workplace. As a CPA candidate and young professional, I’m excited to connect with others who share my passion for accounting, global perspectives, and making a positive impact.ENFJ | Enneagram 7Working Genius: Invention, GalvanizingDISC: Promoter
