More Than Numbers. A Clearer View of Your Business.
At Home Time Business Services, we believe your financial information should do more than satisfy a reporting requirement or tell you what happened last month.
It should help you understand your business, make better decisions, and build toward what matters most to you.
That philosophy shapes everything we do — from bookkeeping and tax services to CFO Advisory.
Hi, I'm Kim.
I've spent my career looking at businesses through more than one financial lens.
From 16 years in banking working with business owners, to performance auditing, accounting and tax, and eventually building my own firm, I've seen how the numbers connect — and how much better decisions become when you understand the whole picture.
Today, I bring that perspective to business owners who want more than accurate financial statements or a completed tax return. I help them understand where their business is headed, what their numbers are telling them, and how the decisions they make today can move them closer to the business — and life — they're working to build.
Our Mission
Your business should support the life you want — not consume it.
At Home Time Business Services, we believe financial clarity gives business owners more than better numbers. It gives them the ability to make confident decisions about where their business is going, what it needs to accomplish, and what comes next.
“That's what Home Time means to us.”
Whether we're providing CFO Advisory, bookkeeping, tax planning, or tax preparation, our goal is to help you build a stronger financial foundation and use it with purpose — so your business can provide the income, opportunity, flexibility, and time you envisioned when you started it.
Because success isn't simply building a better business. It's building a business that helps you create a better life.
What Sets Us Apart
Our approach is consultative across everything we do.
We don't just crunch numbers — we help you understand what they mean and what to do next.
We Start With Where You're Going
Your business isn't just a set of financial statements. We take the time to understand what you're building, what matters to you, and what you want your business to make possible. That context shapes the guidance we provide.
Numbers With Context
Good decisions require reliable information, but numbers alone aren't enough. We help you understand what's behind the numbers, what has changed, and what deserves your attention.
Connected Financial Perspective
Business decisions rarely affect just one area. Our experience across accounting, tax, cash flow, and business finance helps us consider the bigger picture — not just one transaction or one tax return.
Guidance You Can Act On
Financial information is most valuable when it leads somewhere. We focus on helping you identify priorities, understand your options, and determine practical next steps.
Built Around the Business Owner
There isn't one definition of a successful business. Growth may be the goal — or it may be greater profitability, more predictable cash flow, less risk, more freedom, or more time away from the business. Our guidance starts with what success means to you.
Experience That Goes Beyond Accounting
Before founding Home Time Business Services, Kim spent 16 years in banking, working with business owners and seeing firsthand how financial decisions affect a company's ability to grow, borrow, invest, and create cash flow.
Her background also includes performance auditing, graduate-level study in budget and financial management, accounting and tax, and the firsthand experience of building and operating a business herself.
That combination matters.
It means a client's business isn't viewed solely through the lens of a tax return, a set of books, or a single financial statement. Kim brings those perspectives together to help business owners understand the bigger financial picture and make informed decisions about what comes next.

Why Home Time?
Home Time Business Services was built around a simple idea: your business is supposed to provide something for you, too.
For some owners, that means growth. For others, it means financial security, the ability to support their family, opportunities for employees, preparing for retirement, or simply having the freedom to step away from the business without everything stopping.
The answer is different for every owner.
That's why we believe understanding what you want from your business matters just as much as understanding its numbers.
Better numbers aren't the destination. They're a tool for helping you get there.
Built for Business Owners Who Want to Know What's Next
We work best with established business owners who want reliable financial information — and want to use that information to make better decisions.
Some come to us because they need accurate bookkeeping. Some want proactive tax planning. Others are ready for a deeper CFO Advisory relationship focused on targets, cash flow, priorities, and the future of the business.
You don't have to use every HTBS service to work with us.
“I need reliable numbers”
“I want to plan ahead for taxes”
“I want to improve where my business is going”
CFO Advisory does not require you to use our bookkeeping services — what matters is having the right financial foundation for the work we're doing.
