S2E9 - Smarter Business Systems with Katie Hutchinson

KHIT Consulting helps nonprofits and businesses streamline systems, automate processes, and eliminate duplicate data entry

In this episode of 502 Entrepreneurs, we sit down with Katie Hutchinson, founder of KHIT Consulting, to talk about systems, software, and building a business that lets people truly be themselves.

Katie shares how she accidentally launched her tech consulting company and grew it into a thriving team of nine — right before the 2020 shutdown. Today, KHIT Consulting specializes in technology matchmaking, automation, and custom reporting, helping nonprofits, mental health providers, and growing businesses streamline their systems and eliminate duplicate work.

We dive into how automation isn’t always AI (and why that matters), how to “marry” software platforms for better efficiency, and why clean data is everything when reporting to government agencies or boards.

But this episode isn’t just about tech. Katie opens up about leadership, ADHD, building a culture where employees can thrive as themselves, and why corporate conformity never worked for her.

If you’re a business owner overwhelmed by systems, data, or tech tools — this one’s for you.
