About Keen OWL
Keen OWL Consulting was founded by three colleagues who met during their time in the long term care sector. We quickly realized we shared a passion for identifying inefficiencies and streamlining daily processes. Our diverse background of Accounting, Finance, Education, Administration, Project Management, and IT allows Keen OWL Consulting a substantial understanding of business operations which enables us to offer a wide range of workflow optimization services.

Amie Pentecost – Chief Administrative Officer
Amie has been working in accounting and special projects for over 20 years in a variety of industries including the manufacturing sector. She loves a challenge and the opportunity to learn new software and technical skills. She enjoys taking on new challenges and finding ways to make work run a little smoother for herself and her colleagues. Amie is passionate about helping others find ways to save time in their daily work lives, work out solutions to recurring problems they face, and smoothly move through their daily work. When Amie is not focused on creating innovative approaches to streamline processes she’s spending time with her husband and dogs, often exploring new places or diving into hands-on, self-sufficient projects like making her own food.
Kara Van Slyke – Chief Financial Officer
Kara earned her CA designation in 2011 and was really enjoying tax accounting. She soon branched out into industry, moving between the automotive industry, community housing, supportive living, and long term care. At each stop along her career path she was dedicated to reorganizing and streamlining. Kara quickly recognized her love of taking things that are messy and creating something orderly and efficient. If there is even one extra click of the mouse she’ll want to get that changed! When not reading or analyzing financial statements or processes, she is walking her dog and knitting up a storm. Kara is a great lover of animals and hopes to one day have a “murder” of crows as her posse.
Nadia Densmore – Chief Operations Officer
Nadia began her career in education and research. She loved the problem solving and data analysis involved but decided the academic sector was not where she belonged. She moved to the private sector in administration and worked in both staffing and the long term care industries, during these positions she found new uses for her problem solving skills. She eagerly took on roles such as internal franchise auditor, and health and safety officer conducting root cause analyses. In both her professional and private lives she prides herself on her puzzle skills, and loves the feeling of creating order and calm from chaos. In her personal life Nadia competes in puzzle competitions with her eldest son and is constantly challenging herself to beat her previous time.
