KATE SLATER

CPA Numbers Coach
Business Strategist
Confident Decisions
Legacy Builder

Most women treat their accountant like a gynaecology appointment.


You know you need to go. You keep putting it off. And when you finally get there you're just hoping nothing's wrong.

At Camtech & Slater we do things differently. We know our shit but we won't put you to sleep.

We're accountants who don't stop at the numbers. We combine real accounting expertise with business advisory and coaching so you get the compliance done AND someone in your corner who actually knows what to do with the numbers.

No shame. No overwhelm. Just clarity, a plan, and a laugh along the way.

ABOUT KATE SLATER

Hi, I'm Kate. CPA, Numbers Coach, and the person who's going to make you actually want to look at your books.

Hey, I'm Kate. I'm the accountant who actually gives a f**k about your business.

I was born in South Korea, adopted into an Australian family, and in 2023 I finally met my birth family. That trip changed me. My sisters didn't have access to the opportunities I had — and that's exactly why education and knowledge drive everything I do.

14 years in practice, a team across Australia and the Philippines, and a belief that numbers don't have to be boring they, just need the right person explaining them.

I've lived the impostor syndrome. I've had mentors who changed everything. And I've built a business I'm proud of. Now I want to help you do the same.

Cash is QUEEN. That's always where we start.

I love working with salon owners. You built something. You showed up every single day, did the work, grew a team, and kept the doors open. That is not small. That is everything. But here’s what I know about the women I work with. They’re incredible at what they do and a little bit lost when it comes to their numbers. Not because they’re not smart. Because nobody handed them a manual for this part either. That’s where I come in. Not to judge where you’re at, but to sit across from you, look at the real picture, and help you get back in control. If you’re ready to stop avoiding your numbers and start understanding them, link in bio. #accountant #salonowner
The best investments are the ones that are uncomfortable to make. 21.1km of proof that showing up even when you don’t want to or feel like it, always pays off. Crossed the finish line today at the Ballarat Half Marathon with incredible friends

Friday night, Ollie is in bed and I’m taking a moment to sit with the week 🙏 This week I: → Helped a client reduce their tax and map out a plan for FY27 → Mapped out a client’s cash position so they can confidently hire → Built a brand new strategy session to help clients zoom out and see the bigger picture → Visited a friend’s content studio for a branding shoot @contentnation_ 😮‍💨 → Met with the creative legends at @killboringdead → Had my monthly mentor meeting with @mobileskips → Hired a new accountant to join the team 🎉 → Leaving for Ballarat tomorrow to run a half marathon on Sunday 🏃‍♀️ Weeks like this remind me why I started. The work matters. The people matter. And if you keep showing up for your clients, your team, and yourself, the vision you started with slowly becomes the life you’re actually living.
You started this business because you’re good at what you do. But somewhere between building a team, keeping clients happy, and showing up every single day, you stopped knowing if you’re actually making money. Not guessing. Not hoping.
You started this business because you’re good at what you do. But somewhere between building a team, keeping clients happy, and showing up every single day, you stopped knowing if you’re actually making money. Not guessing. Not hoping. Actually knowing. That’s the thing nobody talks about in this industry. You can be fully booked, run off your feet, and still feel like the wheels are about to fall off. It’s not a you problem. It’s a numbers problem. And numbers problems have answers. If you’re a salon owner who’s done winging it and ready to actually look at what’s going on in your business, I want to work with you. Not a pep talk. A plan.

Salons with Slater 🎥✨ I sat down with the incredible Karla, the founder of @__bronde in Newborough and this one really hit me in the feels. 🥺 20 years in business. TWENTY. I had to ask her; what are you most proud of in your salon journey so far? Because honestly, we are SO good at putting our heads down and grinding… but are we actually stopping to smell the roses? 🌹 The hustle is real. The long days are real. The emotional rollercoaster of running a salon? SO real. But so is everything you have built. This one is for every salon owner who needs a gentle reminder to pause, look around, and give yourself the credit you absolutely deserve. 🙌❤️ #salonowners
Salon owners, I want your thoughts on this one. I recently caught up with the gorgeous Jess, owner of @skinandbeauty.bar and we got into something that comes up a lot in the businesses I work with. Targets. Whether to set them, how to set them, and what actually happens when you do. Jess had a lot to say and I loved every bit of it. So tell me, do you set targets in your salon? Has it worked for you, or have you tried it and walked away? Drop it in the comments below, there is no right or wrong here, just real conversations between real business owners. 👇
Salon owners, this one is for you. You are running one of the hardest businesses there is. You’re managing a team, keeping clients happy, staying across trends, paying wages, and somewhere in between all of that trying to actually make money. And most of you are doing it without anyone properly in your corner on the numbers side. Not because you don’t care. Because nobody ever sat down with you and made it make sense. That’s not okay. And it’s exactly why I do what I do. If you’re a salon owner who is done winging it and ready to actually understand what’s happening in your business, I’d love to talk.

The day I forgot to pay my insurance and hit a kangaroo taught me more about automating my finances than any course ever could. Expensive? Absolutely. Necessary lesson? Apparently yes. Here’s the thing, manually paying your bills is one of those things that works perfectly fine, right up until it doesn’t. And when it doesn’t, it really doesn’t. Automating your finances is one of the best things you can do for your business and your sanity. It takes the human error out of the equation, because let’s be honest, we’re all juggling a lot and something is going to slip eventually. Watch the full reel to hear exactly how I set it up and why I’ll never go back. Because the kangaroo was one lesson. I didn’t need another one.
Are you running your salon or is your salon running you? I ask because I’ve sat across from enough incredible women to know that most of them already know the answer. They just haven’t said it out loud yet. The exhaustion. The invisible
Are you running your salon or is your salon running you? I ask because I’ve sat across from enough incredible women to know that most of them already know the answer. They just haven’t said it out loud yet. The exhaustion. The invisible load. The feeling that you built something you love and somehow ended up trapped inside it. That you can’t take a day off without everything falling apart. That you’re working harder than ever but the bank account doesn’t reflect it. That somewhere between building the dream and living it, you lost yourself a little. That’s not weakness. That’s what happens when nobody teaches you the other side of running a business. You built it once. You can rebuild it into something that actually sets you free. #salonowners

    Camtech & Slater have been our accountant for over 20 years. They have been extremely supportive in helping us make our business a success.

  • FIONA

    I have seen both Kate and Zoe for my small business, they have been fantastic with explaining things in an easy to understand way, and using real life situations and problem solving. I would highly recommend C&S to anyone!

  • ANDREW NORTHOVER

    Amazingly supportive, competent and enthusiastic team. Kate has such a warm and welcoming attitude, and Zoe who is working with me directly has alleviated the entirety of my stress around tax and BAS reporting, and seems genuinely excited by tax and the work she’s doing.

    Really happy to have moved from my old lifeless accountants to these guys, and look forward to many decades of running my business with their support.
