Welcome

At Kewell Consulting, we help you see your finances clearly, allowing you to take the steps that matter. We focus on what's beneath the numbers: the decisions, the pivots, and the long game. If you're navigating cash flow challenges, building a pricing strategy, or preparing for your next phase of growth, we bring financial strategy expertise, structure, and insight to the process. What makes us different is how we show up: not just as experts, but as thought partners. We listen closely, ask questions, and look at the big picture without losing sight of the details. Our goal isn't just to give you numbers, it's to help you lead with them.

Our Mission

Our purpose is to stand beside business leaders as trusted partners, transforming the way they experience finance, from a source of stress to a tool for empowerment. By offering strategic partnership, trusted guidance, and financial insights, we allow business owners to build with intention, scale with confidence, and focus on the work that truly moves them.

Our Vision

To be the go-to financial ally organizations trust most, by replacing uncertainty with understanding, helping you grow with purpose, and a team that cares deeply about every number and person behind the growth.

Meet the founder

Kemba Howell, MBA, CMA

Most organizations don't struggle because they aren't working hard enough. They struggle because the numbers don't clearly tell them what to do next.

I founded Kewell Consulting to bridge the gap between financial reporting and real-world decision-making.

As a Fractional CFO and FP&A partner, I support agencies and nonprofits by helping leaders understand their financial reality, anticipate what's ahead, and make thoughtful decisions with confidence, even when the data isn't perfect and the path forward isn't obvious.

My work goes beyond bookkeeping and compliance. I partner with:

Agency owners navigating growth, pricing, and profitability
Nonprofit executive directors balancing mission, funding, and sustainability
CFOs and finance teams who need added capacity, sharper insight, or project-based support

Together, we focus on:

Bringing structure and discipline to reliable financials
Creating visibility into cash flow, capacity, and future scenarios
Translating numbers into clear, actionable insight
Supporting sustainable growth without unnecessary risk

I bring the rigor of an MBA, the strategic finance lens of a Certified Management Accountant (CMA), and hands-on experience guiding businesses through growth, complexity, and change.

My role isn't to overwhelm you with reports and finance jargon. It's to help you see what matters, understand your options, and move forward with clarity.

Frequently asked questions

Because the work we do is strategic, not compliance-based. A CPA credential is built around tax preparation, audits, and financial reporting requirements. A CMA is built around financial planning, cost management, performance analysis, and the kind of forward-looking decision support that helps leaders run stronger organizations. Kemba's background and her CMA certification are both intentionally oriented toward strategy and operational insight, which is exactly what agencies and nonprofits need from a fractional CFO partner. If you need tax filing or audit support, we can point you toward the right CPA. What we do is the work that happens between tax season.

CMA training is built around the financial skills that matter most to operating businesses: cost analysis, profitability by product or service line, budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and performance metrics. For agencies, that translates directly into understanding margin by client and project, pricing strategy, and cash flow planning across fluctuating revenue. For nonprofits, it applies to program-level financial analysis, grant budget management, reserve planning, and the kind of board-ready financial reporting that builds institutional confidence. The CMA curriculum was designed for exactly the type of complex, forward-looking financial work that growing agencies and nonprofits need most.
