Our Mission

To bring the financial discipline of the corporate world to your kitchen table.

Too often, families and business owners are left to piece together their financial lives on their own. We exist to ensure you never have to guess. We blend technical tax expertise with a "Personal CFO" philosophy, looking at the whole picture, not just the tax return.

Whether you are scaling a business, growing a family, or just want your taxes done right, we turn the scattered pieces of your financial life into one clear, actionable plan. From tax returns in April to big decisions in December, you can move forward with confidence knowing a CPA is in your corner.

Matt Curtin, CPA Founder

Kindled Planning is led by Matt Curtin, a licensed CPA with roots in Big Four accounting and Fortune 100 finance.

After years of managing multi-million dollar corporate budgets, I realized that families and small business owners face the exact same challenges, but without the support team. You need the foresight to plan for taxes before they happen, not just record them after.

I founded Kindled Planning to bring that 'big business' discipline to Main Street. My goal is to simplify the complexity of the tax code so you can stop stressing about the numbers and focus on what matters most.
