No one starts a creative or entertainment business to spend their time worrying about numbers, tax planning, and financial statements. Well, except for us! Over the years, we’ve worked with dozens of creative business owners just like you who were confused about what information to trust, where to turn for help, how to scale their business… It’s nerve-wracking operating a creative business with financial guidance that isn’t tailored to your unique situation.
It’s time to put those days behind you and gain some peace of mind knowing you and your business are in the right hands.
Transparent, predictable fees

Revel CPA is a modern firm for a modern world. We love helping creative business owners navigate the tangled web of business and taxes, and have a little fun while we’re at it. With mobile-friendly technologies, extensive creative industry experience, and transparent, predictable fees, we’ve designed our business with creatives like YOU in mind.
We know the challenges you’re facing because we’ve been there.
Consider us a support line, a cool older sibling, a mentor, even! We’re ready to put our 15+ years of experience to work for you.
Authors, musicians, writers, digital agencies, consultants, and everyone in between… we love ‘em all!
But most importantly, we love putting YOU at the center of everything we do. Gone are the days of feeling like just another number. We thrive on building trusting relationships and supporting our clients at every stage of their growth, both on and off the stage.
But don’t take our word for it, check out the love from our clients below!
I appreciate the ease, the confidence that I’m being looked out for. And the close communication that feels both executive and personal… that will always win out.
We love how easy everything is. Literally—schedule online, jump on a Zoom call, no waiting, no parking. And feeling ease that they’re handling our numbers—without treating us like a number. Priceless.
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.
