With over 15 years of experience working with law firm executive teams as their financial advisor, she’s helped dozens of firms solve their biggest challenges and grow their bottom lines.
She founded PROFiX in early 2020, and grew a fully-remote, nation-wide accounting firm with no capital through the pandemic. She has since won many awards for her revolutionary business model, including Business in Vancouver’s prestigious Top Forty Under 40 award, and the Canadian Women of Inspiration Award.
Before launching PROFiX, Anna held CFO and Director of Finance and Operations roles at multiple prestigious firms including a high-end litigation firm led by 3 Chambers ranked King’s Counsel designated lawyers.

Celene Hoag, Director of Operations
Pronouns: she/her
Ops Boss at PROFiX. Celene has always had a passion for fixing things and making them run smoother.
The “Boss” part of the title is no joke—turning frustrations (big or small) into company strengths is what Celene does best.
Whether working in commercial real estate appraisal or running a digital marketing agency, Celene has consistently been driven by a desire to optimize and streamline operations. A total nerd for numbers and systems, she excels at process improvement.
After graduating from the Sauder School of Business and becoming a mom, Celene chose to leave the corporate world in favor of helping small and medium-sized businesses enhance their efficiency and profitability.
At PROFiX, Celene is responsible for overseeing technology, marketing support, graphic design, and special projects. She is also the Founder and CEO of
Chops Consulting, a business consulting firm specializing in operations, marketing, and technology. When she’s not wrestling back-end logistics into submission, you can find her growing beets and blueberries in her massive veggie garden or chasing her little humans down forest trails.

Kate Chakowski, Fractional CFO
Pronouns: she/her
With over 12 years experience consulting with law firms nation-wide, Kate is equipped to tackle even the most complex legal accounting needs.
After obtaining her Paralegal accreditation at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), Kate began her legal journey at one of Calgary's largest civil litigation law firms, before quickly rising in the ranks, and leading the administration and accounting team at a boutique family law firm in AB.
Immersing herself in the intricacies of bookkeeping and full-cycle accounting, she then collaborated with businesses across the country, establishing her own accounting firm in Calgary, specializing in meeting their unique bookkeeping needs.
Kate was a founding employee of PROFiX joining the firm in early 2021, embracing new challenges and advancing her professional development. She is currently pursuing her CPA designation, aiming to achieve it within the next two years. Kate provides CFO-level services and strategic financial consulting to our legal clients, ensuring they receive expert financial guidance and support. Kate is the protege of Anna DiBella and plans to join as the firms first partner upon her graduation.
Having grown up in the breathtaking landscapes of Canmore, Alberta before moving to Calgary to attend a specialized school for gifted children, followed by prestigious Brentwood College on Vancouver Island for high school and later studying at Herstmonceux Castle in England for University, Kate’s pursuits of academic excellence have taken her far from home.
After establishing herself professionally, Kate’s profound love of the outdoors has taken her back to the mountains, where she now resides in the town of Fernie, BC, balancing solving her clients’ toughest problems, with speeding down slopes on her mountain bike or her skis.

Kellyn Kohler, General Manager
Pronouns: she/her
Kellyn is the heart that keeps PROFiX beating.
As the General Manager at PROFiX, Kellyn is instrumental in running company operations, overseeing client and employee onboarding, and managing HR. She joined PROFiX in the Spring of 2021 as Anna DiBella’s Executive Assistant and has been a key player in both administrative and cultural aspects of our team.
It quickly became apparent she had a knack for every responsibility that came her way - from managing the marketing department, to organizing annual company retreats which are talked about widely both internally and by everyone jealous their company’s don’t offer the same. Needless to say, she quickly became indispensable to PROFiX, and was promoted to General Manager.
Today, it is widely acknowledged that she is central to our amazing company culture, nurturing a warm atmosphere where every employee feels appreciated.
Before joining PROFiX, Kellyn gained five years of administrative experience at one of Canada’s leading boutique law firms, where she worked as a Receptionist and Legal Assistant alongside Anna DiBella.
In her free time, Kellyn enjoys exploring Vancouver, experimenting with new recipes, and spending quality time with family and friends. Kellyn also completed her 200hr yoga teacher training certification in 2020 and proudly ran the BMO Vancouver Half Marathon in May 2024.

Cheri Werzun, Junior Controller
Pronouns: she/her
Seasoned bookkeeper with 10+ years experience across industries.
Cheri has over a decade of experience as a self-employed bookkeeper and extensive administrative experience, particularly in the oil and gas industry. She brings her wealth of expertise from previous roles to breathe new life into our existing bookkeeping processes to help fine tune them.
If you notice two Werzun’s on our team, it’s not a coincidence! Cheri joined PROFiX in 2022 after her sister-in-law, Connie, encouraged her to apply for an open role. We are so glad she took her up on the suggestion!
After her children were grown, she was ready for a new challenge and exploring both legal accounting, as well as the new experience of working remotely and with new legal-specific software was exactly that. She embraced the opportunity to learn these new systems with dedication and ease.
Outside of work, Cheri stays active (alongside her sister when they’re in town together) with activities like going to the gym, playing ball hockey, running and hiking, walking her dogs, camping, and spending quality time with friends and family.
