What peers, clients and friends say about Kim:
Kim is very ambitious, highly motivated and driven to be successful. She cares
about people and helping clients solve their problems, and is equally interested
in her team members, which makes her a great leader who is dedicated to the
people it takes to build a great company. She is passionate about helping women

What technology or business process does Kim see affecting the tax
and accounting profession in the next five years?
“Further automation of tax compliance process (including tax provision)
due to Sarbanes Oxley and the need to reduce manual processes and additional
e-filing requirements (IRS and some states require now but most states will
probably require in the next five years).”
