Hello,
My name is Kim. Nice to meet you.

I look at money and finance in a different way to most people.

I can help you with your accounting systems and procedures, whether you are a CEO of a business, own your own company (possibly a start-up), or an individual who needs help with your personal finances.

However, as well as practical solutions, I can also help you understand and improve your relationship with money, because this can have a huge effect on both your business and personal life. Sometimes it&apos;s things like money blocks and money ceilings that can have a bigger impact on your business than you realise.
