Hi, I’m Kim!

I live on a small diary farm in Whakatane with my husband Cam and children Sophie, Ben and Ollie.  I have recently taken up golf so am often found swinging a club at the golf course or helping out with the juniors at the local tennis club.  I belong to a fantastic book club that meets once a month and goes on an annual tramp.  I love living in Whakatane - we are so lucky to have beautiful beaches, bush walks, rivers and golf courses - plus a great climate and friendly people!

I got my accounting degree at Victoria University in Wellington, along with a degree in Japanese.  After graduation, I headed to Japan for two years to teach English which was great fun!  I worked for Pricewaterhouse Cooper as an Auditor on my return, followed by a stint at Guinness in Dublin and Lion Nathan in Auckland.  I took an extended break to bring up my family and after several moves ended up on our diary farm.  As a farm owner, I understand the challenges of the industry and the headache of admin! I'm a great believer in keeping things simple and explaining accounting in terms you can understand.  I use Xero and Figured at home (and work) and enjoy teaching clients how to use these tools effectively.
