About Kristin Meador:

Kristin Meador is a CPA and the founder of Gradient Accounting, a modern accounting firm specializing in Financial Coaching, Bookkeeping, and Tax. Gradient is a fully remote company with 5 team members, and around 50 recurring business clients.
Gradient Accounting was founded in 2018 while Kristin was taking a "gap year" to travel the world. She encountered many digital nomads who had tons of pain points in the finance and tax realm.

Gradient Accounting was founded to address some of those pain points for a modern wave of small business owners. These business owners often want to earn a good income while traveling, spending time with friends and family, and pursuing their other passions.

Personally, Kristin still identifies as a digital nomad. She travels internationally about 3 months a year while enjoying her home base in Knoxville, TN.
