Cate Kemp is the unapologetic straight-shooter behind The Control Room, a high-trust advisory program for founders who are ready to lead financially—without becoming a spreadsheet junkie. With 25+ years of experience in financial operations, Cate has helped hundreds of business owners move from financial fog to full throttle—building businesses that are not just profitable, but saleable.

Equal parts CFO and truth-teller, she’s known for turning “I’m not good with numbers” into financial clarity, cashflow confidence, and genuinely valuable businesses. Cate’s work focuses on helping business owners reclaim their power, get obsessed with their numbers (in a good way), and extract every last drop of value from their advisors.

Her favourite phrase? “Budgets are bullshit, don’t bother.”

If you’re ready to stop guessing, start leading, and actually know your business is worth something—Cate’s the one you want in your corner.
