Since 1916, the Chicago Urban League has helped people find jobs, secure affordable housing, enhance their educational experiences, and grow their businesses. One of the oldest and largest affiliates of the National Urban League, the organization promotes strong, sustainable communities through advocacy, innovation, and collaborative community, corporate and civic relationships.
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that helps families build and improve places to call home. Habitat for Humanity partners with people in your community, and all over the world, to help them build or improve a place they can call home.
Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage and achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and for their families.
The Leadership Conference Education Fund builds public will for laws and policies that promote and protect the civil and human rights of every person in the United States. The issues we work on — from voting rights to educational equity to justice reform — have deep roots in our organizational history and across the communities we represent.
Timothy’s aim is to ultimately free up the time of his clients so they can focus on the things they’re passionate about. With a great eye for detail and overarching vision, he’s behind a lot of our client processes and makes sure they get the service they’re looking for. A cool fact about Timothy is he was once a ball-boy for the Chicago White Sox! An even cooler fact is his own grandmother has a train station named after her, right outside their stadium. When he’s not checking in with his clients, Timothy is all about his beautiful family. Oh, and snacks, he loves really good snacks.
Timothy’s favorite thing about Revel is, undeniably, the team. He’s a huge team player and loves how everyone truly does support one another. We love that you’re part of it all, Timothy.
Lontier Hicks
Staff Accountant
Lontier’s mission is to make sure her clients’ books are always up-to-date and error-free. As one of our Staff Accountants, she’s a pro at categorizing transactions properly and finding inconsistencies. Relishing the detective work that undoubtedly comes with accounting, Lontier lives for a challenge and she will get to the bottom of it. When she’s not unpicking complex accounting queries, she’s probably drinking a matcha latte or doodling cartoon characters. An unofficial butterfly expert, she raised her first set of Black Swallowtails recently. We didn’t know we needed a master of butterflies until we met Lontier, now we'll be the first to recommend it!
Her favorite thing about Revel is how techy we are. Into all things cloud and app related, we’re also fully remote, and Lontier really digs that. We’re fans of it too, obviously!
Kayla Weaver
Principal CPA
Kayla is a business owner’s dream. All about strategy and planning, she knows a well-rounded grasp on your accounting means you can propel your business toward more and more success (and she’ll get you there). If she wasn’t doing what she does best, she would be a teacher because she loves seeing people learn to grasp something difficult—eventually finding it easy. That figures, because one of her favorite things to do at Revel is alleviate the stress and anxiety her clients may feel when they’re faced with their accounting.
If she’s not behind her desk, Kayla could be found doing a bunch of things. She might be hanging with her foster kids or curled up with coffee under a blanket. On another day she might be playing the guitar, banjo, violin or organ. Yeah, we hire awesome people. Can’t help it.
Christina Cantey
Staff Accountant
As one of our Staff Accountants, Christina is a go-to when it comes to bookkeeping, payroll, invoicing and problem-solving. An entrepreneur herself, she has a unique understanding of the wants and needs of her clients, as well as the ability to foreshadow any issues. She’s most passionate about realizing her clients’ visions and being dependable, because she knows the value of having someone reliable in your corner. Christina is innately curious and an explorer; she loves wandering through new cities and pushing her own boundaries. When she’s not kicking butt in her role, she’s with her awesome dog Kodack, drinking green tea, or making people laugh.
Christina’s favorite thing about Revel is being involved with businesses in a variety of industries. Oh, she also loves Revel’s personality. Right back atcha, Christina.
Cherish Parker
Operations and Communications Manager
The ops and comms manager everyone needs, Cherish is responsible for streamlining and improving our day-to-day processes. A bit of a dream come true, she thinks it’s a given to “make things happen” and is always on the lookout for ways to make our team’s work experience better. Cherish is an out-and-out creative which means she gets the power of what we do. Expressive, passionate and into all things art, her apartment walls are covered with 99% her own work. On top of that, she’s a next-level plant mom. Choosing to “save” old office plants instead of buying new, she brings them back to life and even takes one with her whenever she travels. Of course she does! Who doesn’t?
Cherish’s favorite thing about Revel is a tie between our truly supportive team and our cool and talented client list. We love that.
