Kevin Cahill — Founding Partner & CFO at Debit & Co

Team

Kevin Cahill

Founding Partner & Chief Financial Officer

Most outsourced accounting firms give you a bookkeeper and hope for the best. Kevin built Debit & Co. because he spent 20+ years watching that model fail.

Kevin began his career at KPMG and PwC before serving as CFO of several B2B growth companies — all venture/PE-backed B2B SaaS companies where he built the financial architecture from early stage through scale. He then ran Cahill CFO, his own advisory practice, where he worked directly with $10M–$80M B2B operators navigating the exact same problems: books that were always behind, data that couldn’t be trusted, and financial teams that couldn’t keep up with the pace of growth.

What he kept seeing: the problem was never the people. It was the system. Or the complete absence of one.

That insight became the foundation of the Continuous Close Method™.

Today Kevin oversees every Debit & Co. engagement as CFO — reviewing financials weekly alongside Aaron Ressel, surfacing 3–5 anomaly flags per cycle, and ensuring the numbers don’t just reconcile but actually inform decisions. His background in FP&A, forecasting, and cost optimization means clients don’t just get clean books. They get the strategic intelligence layer that turns a monthly close into a competitive advantage.

The shift Kevin drives for every client: from reactive accounting — constantly putting out fires, scrambling before board meetings, making decisions without data — to proactive financial management, where clarity arrives before the decisions need to be made.
