“Accounting services, and much more.”

"My recommendation of Robin Thieme for accounting services (as well as IT services by the way) is wholehearted and unequivocal. I began working with KBS, and it's owner, for managing accounting and financial matters. That has turned out to be one of my best decisions since starting the firm. I have found Robin to be smart, experienced, skillful, straightforward, and, a pleasure to work with.

Robin and her team have trained our admin assistant in the bookkeeping functions, and Robin has meanwhile evolved to be my trusted counsel on both financial and IT issues. She in fact functions now as our "virtual" CFO/CIO. We still have a tax accountant, of course, but she works closely and effectively with him (and helps me minimize those more expensive hours)."

 

Suzanne Harris, Presidnet
Magnificent Publications

I am pleased to recommend the services of Kensington Business Solutions, which has worked for Magnificent Publications very successfully since this spring. We hired Robin Thieme and KBS on the advice of our tax accountant, who also has used their services.

 

We turned to KBS because, after 14 years in business, I decided that we needed a higher level of professionalism, especially in the area of cost accounting. KBS has lived up to all our expectations. They streamlined our accounting system, which will save us money by making it easier for a part-time bookkeeper to understand how to keep our books accurately. They also recommended improvements in our bill-paying systems that save time for me as well as office staff.

 

KBS currently provides multiple levels of bookkeeping and accounting services, from data entry to supervision to advisory services. Costs have turned out to be less than for a full-time bookkeeper, who experience showed was likely to lack the skills we needed. We also found KBS to be more cost-effective than at least one “big name” accounting firm with which we worked briefly.

 

 Working with KBS, I find that accounting information is recorded in an efficient, consistent and accurate manner. They are careful to make sure I have information from the system when you need it.  In addition, reconciliations to outside sources are performed on a weekly/regular basis to further ensure the accuracy of the information provided.   

In short, I am extremely satisfied with their services and would recommend them to other businesses regardless of their needs.

"Before I started using KBS's services, I felt so overwhelmed by all of my business and technology problems and I didn't have the expertise to handle them efficiently. Every day was a new headache and I was facing mounting challenges as my business grew. Then I met Robin and started using KBS's services.

KBS has allowed my business to grow because it helps me run the business so much more efficiently. Robin and KBS have helped me find solutions to every single one of my business, financial and technological challenges. Robin always gets right back to me, even when she's travelling, and makes me feel calmer with her solution-oriented approach. My problems become her problems too, and she understands the meaning of a business emergency! With Robin and KBS, I feel like I have a partner that's a perfect complement to all my strengths and weaknesses. I don't think there's another a small company out there with all your skills--organization, management, technology, finances, marketing, writing...I could go on and on! Thank you so much for helping my business grow and allowing me to enjoy the process."

KBS has been instrumental in improving the cash-flow of our organization.  By increasing the efficiency of many of the accounting processes and structuring the accounting information so that it better fits our business model, we are able to review accounting information in a more timely manner and the reporting is more meaningful and useful.  Our organization is stronger from a financial standpoint, in part, due to KBS’s advisory services.
