Keith Fitzpatrick

Keith Fitzpatrick grew up in Long Island, NY and then went on to Yale University where he played four year Varsity Ice Hockey  before playing in the minor leagues for one season.  After completing his hockey career, he went to work in finance for multiple firms in a sales trading role in NYC and London.  Upon returning home from London in 2008 during the recession, Keith took a job working in hospitality, building an event space.  This is where Keith found his true passion for growing small businesses.  He then went back to school, completed the coursework to obtain a CPA.  For the last 15 years, Keith has worked in multiple industries including retail, travel, hospitality, music production, professional services, and others to help his clients achieve success as an outsourced Controller/CFO and tax accountant.

When he isn’t working in spreadsheets, Keith still enjoys coaching hockey in NYC for kids 8 and under with his close friends. He spends most of his summers in Montauk where he is starting to learn to surf.

He has worked in a variety of industries and positions including Chief Financial Officer and Founder of dozens of startups with a special focus on financial modeling, mergers & acquisitions, and strategic planning.

Etienne and his wife, Megan, raise their four boys in Colorado while enjoying cigars, whiskey, and tequila in the mountain sunshine. He speaks just enough of a handful of languages to confuse the locals, and he will probably beat you at a game of darts if you’re brave enough to try.

Kelly-Ann Jenkins

Kelly-Ann Jenkins is a “recovering attorney” who dreamed of a career in Big Law.  After working in a large law firm for 5 years, she realized the partner-track lifestyle was not for her!  That’s when she decided to take the leap of faith and build her own law practice.  Within 7 years, she grew that small law firm from a $100K to nearly a $7M firm.  Even in the face of rapid growth, she refused to sacrifice her passions and continued to chase her dreams – from learning new skills to checking off items on her bucket list.  She built a law practice that allowed her to go skydiving in New Zealand, cage diving in South Africa, and safarying in Kenya.  She’s travelled to all 50 states, taught herself intro to guitar, and studied winemaking.  When she sets a goal, she makes it happen – whether that’s personal, professional, or financial.

Her drive to learn new things has her constantly challenging herself and others around her.  She loves proving that you really can do whatever you set your mind to.  She recently achieved a goal that people told her was “impossible” – running 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days – something that fewer than 200 people in the history of the world had completed as of October 2024.

Kelly-Ann blends that same relentless determination with legal experience and proven success in building a law practice.  She knows how to take a vision and make it happen!  If you want someone who understands growth, isn’t afraid to push limits, and knows how to get results, Kelly-Ann’s going to be a good fit for you & your firm.
