Kieran Walsh

Lead Financial Strategy Consultant

Kieran spent eight years at TD Bank before joining a Montreal-based fintech startup focused on automated savings. His experience ranges from helping small business owners secure their first loans to developing algorithms that predict spending patterns. What drew him to ophalidrynos was the opportunity to focus specifically on annual budgeting – something he noticed most people either skip entirely or approach with outdated methods.

"I've seen too many people create January budgets that fall apart by March," Kieran explains. "The key is building systems that adapt to your actual life, not theoretical perfect scenarios." He's particularly interested in how Canadian tax seasons affect annual planning and has developed several of ophalidrynos's features around RRSP contributions and tax-free savings optimization.
