My name is Kathleen Kenealy, and I am the founder of Katapult Financial Planning. little girl with glasses and her hair tied in a bun holding a pencil and concentrating on her homework For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been a numbers nerd. Growing up, we had a small chalkboard propped up against the wall. Instead of scribbling random shapes, I would have my parents give me math problems to solve. (Don’t worry – I don’t do my math on a chalkboard anymore!). I started my career in financial services fresh out of college when I was hired at a boutique wealth management firm just outside of Boston. It was there that I quickly fell in love with financial planning.
