Hi! I’m Kristee Bowles, the Director of Accounting of Bautista Strategic Accounting and Consulting Partners LLC. I’m an accountant with over 20 years of experience helping businesses confidently navigate the full accounting cycle — from bookkeeping and financial reporting to tax planning and strategic advising.
Throughout my career, I’ve partnered with companies of all sizes and across diverse industries, giving me a broad perspective and the ability to deliver tailored, practical solutions to the everyday financial challenges businesses face. My approach combines technical expertise with a genuine passion for helping clients understand their numbers, make informed decisions, and achieve long-term growth.
I earned my degree in Accounting from Kansas State University, where I built the foundation for a lifelong career rooted in integrity, compassion, and excellence. These values continue to guide my work and relationships today. My mission is simple: to ensure that every business—no matter its size, stage, or background—has access to professional, trustworthy accounting services that empower them to grow and thrive.
Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my daughter and experimenting with new dessert recipes in the kitchen. I’m also deeply passionate about supporting young adults who have aged out of the foster care system—providing job training, mentorship, and community connections to help them build confidence, independence, and opportunity as they transition into adulthood.
