SS&A WELCOMES KATHRYN HELMS AS COMPTROLLER

SS&A is proud to announce Kathryn Helms has joined our team as Comptroller. An Auburn University graduate, Kathryn received a bachelor’s degree in Secondary Mathematics Education in 2010, moving on to teach math at Brewbaker Technology Magnet High School in Montgomery for the next eight years. In 2014, she returned to night school at AUM where she received a secondary bachelor’s degree in accounting and has since continued to take several graduate-level accounting courses in preparation for the CPA exam. Kathryn recently passed the first of the four CPA exams and plans to become fully licensed in 2023.

“Though teaching was a very rewarding career, I did not feel professionally fulfilled. I am very goal and detail-oriented, so I felt accounting was more suited to my personality. I like the challenge that accounting provides. Having spent so much time in and around sports, I have always worked hard to be a valuable team member at work, and I’ve always had the desire to ‘serve’. I love that accounting has allowed me to use my specific skill set and knowledge to serve my coworkers and clients.” With her strong public accounting expertise and experience, we’re confident Kathryn will have many opportunities to continue to serve others here at SS&A.

Originally from Montgomery, Kathryn and her husband Tyler currently live in Opelika with their two children, Sophia (8) and Hudson (3). Coincidentally, this will not be Kathryn’s first time here at SS&A. She worked in our production department the summer after high school, during which time she observed coworkers love their jobs, build their careers and create meaningful bonds with one another. “I knew that working for SS&A would mean working for a company that takes pride in the work they do and also values their employees.”

Kathryn, we are excited to have you join our team!
