She works with you from a holistic point of view to tailor strategic and tactical plans to your business that:
Business Performance Assessment
Every business should have a clear understanding of their performance - and how they can improve. At the highest level, this is reflected in financial statements, but keeping an eye on other performance measures is also important. The key is looking at the right things, the right way, and not being overwhelmed with “reports.”
Financial Planning & Analysis
Most companies will benefit from strong financial leadership, yet it isn’t always necessary or feasible to hire a full-time senior finance leader. The ideal financial leader in today’s world is well-rounded, multi-disciplined, and hard to find. They have solid technical skills in accounting and finance, but are also strategic, operational, and effective leaders who can collaborate both internally and externally. Kim brings these skills and more to help you and your team. She can:
Develop and implement a financial strategy to support your plans
Assess and help you understand the financial performance of your business
Identify and correct cash flow issues
Prepare forecasts
Create and manage budgets - for the whole company or specific efforts
Evaluate business opportunities and make data-driven decisions
Identify improvements
Operations Improvement
Businesses are a set of interconnected activities, information and people. When something isn’t “working” it can be detrimental to your business’s performance, wasting time and money. Often, it is too difficult for those involved to determine where the issue is and/or how to fix it. Sometimes you don’t have the bandwidth. Kim brings an experienced, outside perspective to help you:
Implement new or stalled initiatives - either from the start or midstream
Improve operational effectiveness - small changes can have big benefits
Design and implement new processes - that are efficient, scalable, and sustainable
Strategic Planning & Implementation
Companies need to know where they are going and how best to get there in a way that is realistic and flexible. Kim will guide your company’s leadership through the process of setting clear goals, evaluating what it will take to reach those goals, and mapping a clear set of objectives and an action plan to keep the team focused moving forward. Leveraging a rare ability to think and plan strategically as well as work tactically, Kim can help shape the big picture then dive in to help with analysis, implementation, and tracking.

PART-TIME, ADJUNCT, OR AD HOC
Many companies don’t need (or aren’t yet ready for) every senior position, but they need the expertise and skill sets - either ad hoc or on an ongoing basis - to translate the CEO’s vision into reality. Kim has the combined operational and financial expertise, along with a deep understanding of the whole business (e.g., IT, R&D, marketing, sales) to strengthen a company’s leadership team.
