Kimberly shares her journey from corporate accounting to running her own successful CPA firm, emphasizing the importance of understanding and managing business expenses, setting boundaries, and making financially savvy choices.

Kimberly Tara is a CPA, Certified Tax Coach and powerhouse entrepreneur who helps other profitable women entrepreneurs legally and ethically lower their tax bill and build long-term wealth. She believes making money is only half the battle—keeping it is where true financial freedom begins. Too many women entrepreneurs work tirelessly, only to hand over massive chunks of their income to the IRS because no one ever taught them a better way. Kimberly is changing that. The Tara CPA Firm goes beyond tax prep - offering a year-round, strategic partnership that empowers women to make smart financial decisions, grow their businesses sustainably, and reclaim both their time and their wealth. Kimberly ensures that tax planning is no longer something that gets ignored until April. Her approach empowers women to understand their numbers, make smarter financial decisions, and turn their business into a wealth-building machine. She believes that when women keep more of what they earn, they don’t just grow their business—they change their lives, their families, and their futures. Her mission is simple: Success isn’t just about numbers—it’s about freedom, impact, and living life on your terms. Kimberly Tara is a wife, mom to four little kids, and lives in Charlotte, NC.
