Your finance partner

for a healthy, profitable clinic

Hi, I’m Katrien, I keep an eye on your bookkeeping and I tell you what you need to know to keep your clinic healthy and profitable.

Serving the Ottawa Valley & Eastern Ontario

Most health professionals are passionate about helping people. But behind many successful practices, the owner is quietly carrying a lot alone.

That's when a Second Banana comes in, a steady 1-on-1 financial partner who understands your business and looks out for you.

Why is Second Banana Different?

Deal directly with me

​

I take care of your books myself, so I get to know your numbers and your business inside out.

More than bookkeeping

​

Accurate books are just the start. I stay close to your numbers and pay attention to what they're telling us.

Proactive Communication​​​

​

You won't have to chase me. I keep you informed, flag what needs your attention and respond within 24 hours.

Focused on health clinics

​​​

I know your tools, understand the challenges of running a clinic and speak your language.

Who I'm a Great Fit For

  • You own a therapy, chiropractic, physio, naturopathic or other healthcare clinic.

  • Your practice is growing, or you already work with a few subcontractors. 

  • You're great at caring for patients, but the financial side isn't your favourite part. 

  • You want someone who looks after your numbers and tells you what needs attention. 

  • You value quality, trust and personal attention over the lowest price.

  • You use QuickBooks Online, or you're open to switching to it.

Bright, welcoming healthcare clinic with a treatment table and comfortable seating area.

Hi, I'm Katrien...

warm contrast.jpg

I’m one of those people who genuinely loves numbers and business analysis, and when I close the laptop, I’m a wife and a mom to two boys.

​

I started Second Banana in 2023, combining my background in engineering and finance with my love for structure, financial analysis and supporting people behind the scenes.​

​

I’ve always been happiest in that second-banana role: making sense of the details, spotting what others might miss, and helping others move forward with their business.

Besides making sure you never have to touch QuickBooks again, my goal is to give you the space to breathe, dream big, and focus on the work you were truly meant to do. 

What My Happy Clients Say

Katrien's skilled competence has lifted weight off my shoulders and freed up parts of my mind to focus on other aspects of our business.
