Kari Brown

Bookkeeper & Office Manager

A Decade of Partnership, A Lifetime of Excellence

When Kari joined Nikari Homes in 2019, she wasn't just bringing her impressive credentials—she was bringing a decade of proven collaboration with Chad and a deep understanding of what makes construction companies run smoothly. Having worked together at Teragon Developments for 10 years, Kari and Chad had already perfected the systems and processes that now make Nikari Homes so efficient and organized.

Education and Early Career

Kari graduated at the top of her class from KPU with a Diploma in Applied Business Technology, specializing in Bookkeeping. She started her career at a mid-size public accounting firm, where she quickly worked her way up to Junior Accountant. It was there she discovered her talent for handling the unique challenges of trades and construction company finances—a skill that would prove invaluable throughout her career.

Construction Industry Expertise

After mastering public practice, Kari made the strategic move to industry, joining Teragon Developments to oversee their office operations. For 10 years, she managed the financial backbone of a major construction company, working hand-in-hand with Chad to streamline processes, improve efficiency, and create the organized systems that kept complex projects running smoothly.

When Teragon decided to outsource their bookkeeping to a firm instead of maintaining in-house expertise, it was their loss and Nikari Homes' gain. Kari brought all that institutional knowledge, refined processes, and proven partnership directly to our team.

The Nikari Homes Advantage

With Kari managing our books and office operations, clients benefit from a decade of refined systems and processes. She understands construction accounting inside and out—from managing complex project budgets to handling the intricate financial details that keep builds on track. Her partnership with Chad ensures seamless communication between field operations and financial management.

Beyond the Office

When Kari's not keeping our projects financially organized, you'll find her spending quality time with her daughter and her dog. She's been riding and training horses for most of her life and enjoys sharing that passion by teaching beginner riding lessons. Her artistic side finds expression through photography and drawing—skills that bring a creative perspective to even the most detailed financial work.

The Kari Difference

Having Kari on your project team means your financial details are in the hands of someone who's not just qualified, but who's spent years perfecting the systems that keep construction projects organized, transparent, and on budget. Her decade of collaboration with Chad ensures that every aspect of your project—from initial budgeting to final invoicing—runs with the efficiency and attention to detail that Nikari Homes is known for.
