Meet the Founder
Kelsey Lamoureaux, CPA
Kelsey has over 13 years of experience in providing internal audit, SOX compliance and risk management services. Through her tenure at PwC and in industry, she has led internal audit and SOX compliance efforts for companies ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 organizations. She has worked with companies across the spectrum of operational maturity from fragmented, manual processes to streamlined, automated control environments, and those navigating the transition in between. Her experience spans across sectors with a focus in real estate, consumer goods, media, and technology.
As the Founder of Kanda Partners, Kelsey helps clients gain visibility into their financial and operational workflows by documenting and formalizing key processes, strengthening internal controls, guiding SOX readiness efforts, and identifying opportunities to leverage financial systems more effectively. By creating audit-ready internal control frameworks and optimizing technology solutions, her clients are able to improve oversight, accountability, and implement resilient risk management processes.
Have your financial processes evolved to keep up with your company’s growth?
Are manual processes slowing down your team?
Do you have the right internal controls in place to protect your business?
Are you making the most of your organization’s systems and resources?
We evaluate and enhance financial operations with a controls-first mindset, ensuring that processes are well-defined and built to last. By reinforcing a sound internal control foundation, we help accounting and finance teams manage increasing transaction volumes, collaborate effectively across functions, and meet evolving reporting demands without sacrificing accuracy or efficiency.
We identify and implement automation that not only improves accuracy and reduces manual workload but also strengthens control environments, ensuring compliance, data integrity, and risk mitigation while freeing teams to focus on strategic initiatives.
We design and document tailored internal controls that integrate seamlessly into your operations, ensuring compliance with industry best practices, audit standards, investor expectations, and future regulatory requirements. Our approach doesn’t just check a compliance box, it creates a control framework that prevents risk, enhances operational efficiency, and grows with your business.

Process & Controls Advisory
Your operations deserve more than duct tape and spreadsheets.
We dig in, map out what’s working (and what’s not), and help you build processes that reduce manual effort, increase visibility, and position your team to scale confidently.
Our Approach
Walkthroughs
We perform detailed walkthroughs with key stakeholders immersing ourselves in the nuances of your processes and systems. This hands-on approach ensures we grasp the unique challenges your organization faces.
Process Documentation
We craft clear, structured documentation that maps out transaction flows, pinpoints key risks, and delineates critical controls. This provides transparency into where your team invests time and highlights opportunities for reducing manual workload.
Process & Control Enhancement
We identify control gaps and uncover opportunities to strengthen and streamline your processes. We highlight where you can leverage automation to reduce risk, and drive efficiency at any size.
Remediation
We deliver actionable recommendations and collaborate with you to develop a strategic remediation roadmap, helping you address gaps, strengthen controls, and implement long-lasting improvements.
SOX Preparedness
Big Firm Knowledge, Small Firm Agility.
At Kanda, we blend deep expertise in process optimization and internal controls with a sharp focus on regulatory compliance. We deliver SOX readiness that’s tailored, efficient, and built for expansion. We won’t implement rigid frameworks that don’t fit your business. Instead, we provide practical, right-sized solutions that work for you today and will evolve as you grow.
So why us?
⬜ Not a One-Size-Fits-All Playbook
Some firms may apply templated solutions that don’t consider the nuances of your business. At Kanda, we craft a customized SOX compliance strategy that aligns with your unique operations, technology, and risk profile.
⬜ We Solve Root Causes, Not Symptoms
Rather than relying on quick fixes or manual workarounds to get a control in place, we take a deeper, more strategic approach. We identify the root causes of control weaknesses to ensure that remediation efforts result in effective, long-term solutions, rather than temporary patches that add unnecessary complexity and manual controls.
⬜ Cost-Effective and Efficient Without Compromising Expertise
Engagements with larger firms come with sky-high fees resulting from junior consultants and layered review structures. We deliver senior-level insights and practical SOX readiness support at a fraction of the cost.
⬜ Practical and Actionable Solutions
We focus on building processes that reduce manual effort and strengthen controls, not just compliance for compliance’s sake. You get a future-proofed framework, not just a regulatory checkbox.
⬜ A Partner, Not Just a Vendor
We work collaboratively with your team, providing ongoing guidance, training, and hands-on support. Our goal is to leave you with a self-sustaining compliance model that empowers your business long after our engagement ends.
