I work with the MDs of SME businesses and help them improve profitability and cashflow through common sense financial management.

Get these right and you have a good foundation to grow profitably in the future.
I&apos;m the founder and MD of <a href=&apos;https://bluedotconsulting.co.uk/&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>Blue Dot Consulting Limited</a>, a chartered accountancy practice in South West London which I set up around the turn of the century.
I&apos;ve never hired colleagues who have only worked in accountancy firms, preferring the real-world experience of finance profesionals who have worked in real businesses - perhaps like yours.
Much of what I&apos;ve seen and learned over the years is reflected in my <a href=&apos;https://bluedotconsulting.co.uk/blog/&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>blog</a>. You won&apos;t find much that&apos;s typical accountanty stuff on there - but you might find one or two things that are helpful.

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.

Money Chats

Money Chats is an informal group hosted over Zoom, where you can talk about money and find support.
