Anna DiBella, CPA, CGA
Anna DiBella, CPA, CGA, is the founder and lead accountant at ProFix. She uses her analytical mindset and data-driven approach to decision making to help law firms reach their strategic goals.
Before launching ProFix Accounting & Strategy, Anna DiBella held a CFO role at a custom brokerage firm. She was responsible for assessing their financial operations while overseeing senior level accounting duties. She coached each member of her accounting department on how to build operational processes in order to set the firm up to meet leadership’s goals and vision.
Prior, Anna was the Director of Finance & Operations at a high-end litigation firm led by 3 Chambers ranked Queen’s Counsel designated lawyers. She oversaw all non-attorney staff including paralegals, and worked with the firm’s partners to identify short-term and long-term strategic goals. Implementing all financial and operational procedures for the business, she offered strategic advice on how to increase profitability.
Before that, Anna was the Director of Finance at a progressive firm with aggressive growth. While under Anna’s leadership, the firm won the Fastest Growing Business award from Business in Vancouver. During her time there, Anna developed new financial processes from the ground up while supporting the firm in reaching its growth revenue targets near 50% year over year. She also streamlined collections and reduced the billings timeline to increase cash flow, in addition to reporting on the firm's profitability.
Anna began her career at a busy and successful First Nations law firm as the Assistant Manager of Finance. During her tenure there, she oversaw financial operations and managed complex settlement administration, making significant changes to operate more efficiently.
Anna holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of the Fraser Valley. She completed the Certified General Accountant Program in 2014 with honors. Anna was an active member of the British Columbia Legal Management Association, and was on the board of the Vancouver Association for Survivors of Torture as the finance chair. She is currently an active member of Financial Executives International.
Celene Hoag
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 it was while working in commercial real estate appraisal or running a digital marketing agency, Celene has always had a passion for fixing things and making them run smoother.
A total nerd for numbers and systems, processes is what Celene does best! After graduating from the Sauder School of Business, and becoming a mom, she decided to ditch the corporate world of Old White Guys refusing to embrace technology and innovation in favor of helping small and medium sized businesses become more efficient and more profitable.
When 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
Senior Controller at ProFix. Kate brings extensive experience in accounting and legal assistance.
Kate joined ProFix in 2021 and is thrilled to be part of such a dynamic team of professional women!
Kate has 7 years experience in legal accounting and administration and loves the challenge of working in this industry.
She started her career as a paralegal and office manager for a boutique civil litigation firm in Calgary, Alberta, and then moved on to a strictly accounting role at a medium sized family law firm.
Here she handled the financials for 15 lawyers operating under one umbrella corporation, and during this time learned the ins and outs of legal specific accounting while becoming an expert at navigating tricky Law Society issues.
This company managed the financials for small condominium corporations all over Alberta. Through this experience she learned that she had a passion for client relations and sales, as well as business development and marketing and is excited to bring these unique skill sets to ProFix Accounting.
Growing up in a small mountain town, she has developed a profound love of the outdoors and can often be found hiking, skiing or camping during her down-time. She has a passion for traveling the world and visited much of Europe and Asia while attending university in England.

After nearly two years of everything being shut down, Kellyn successfully organized ProFix's very first team retreat, where we got to connect and meet each other in person, for the first time. It was the first retreat of many more to come.
