Background

About Katelyn Klaus

I am a Grant Accountant at Oklahoma State University, where I manage the financial aspects of federal, state, and privately funded grants and contracts. Since starting in this office as a freshman student worker, I’ve advanced into a role where I oversee budgets, reporting, compliance, and sponsor invoicing for complex awards. My work supports groundbreaking research and education by ensuring accuracy, transparency, and alignment with federal, state, and institutional regulations. Angel Cultivations – My plant and seedling business, where I connect people with the joy of growing their own greenery through both local and online sales. The Finance Angel – My financial education and consulting brand, offering digital budgeting tools, financial planning resources, and content designed to make money management approachable—especially for individuals navigating ADHD, chronic illness, or entrepreneurship. With dual degrees in Accounting and Finance, I am pursuing my Master’s in Family Financial Planning, with long-term goals of expanding into my own financial planning practice. I’ve also earned the Ethical Leadership Certification from NASBA’s Center for the Public Trust and the BMC Core Concepts from Bloomberg LP, underscoring my commitment to ethics and continuous growth. At the intersection of grants, entrepreneurship, and financial coaching, I thrive on bringing clarity to complex systems—whether that’s federal research funding, a startup’s bookkeeping, or an individual’s personal budget.
