A Passion for Growth.

Kimberly's work has led her from county councils to the board room. But her passion is still the new business owner.
Establishing and then growing a company is fun! And why do it for only one company as an in-house lawyer when she can help hundreds of companies grow with Springboard Legal!

- Ethics Matter in Business
- Law Firm Doubles in Size
A business owner came to Kimberly asking for some help when his Chief Financial Officer resigned at the same as giving his recommendation that he file for bankruptcy. A lot of hard work and more than a little luck, that company became one of the Inc 5000 Fastest Growing Companies with over $120 million in annual revenue.
There’s nothing quite like getting an audit notice. But with Kimberly’s previous work with the company, they were able to defend their policies and procedures as well as the results to close a multi-state audit for zero dollars in liability! Talk about a major win!
In order for companies to grow, they are going to need financing! That’s where Kimberly has helped companies, with banking and venture capital relationships and negotiating deals for companies. From negotiating larger lines of credit and covenant compliance to vetting and negotiating with venture capitalists and private equity investors, there is a lot to negotiate for financing your company’s growth.
A client and friend was accused of a conflict of interest with his volunteer board service and government service. We prepared a well reasoned and researched response and presented arguments at a hearing. The county’s Board of Ethics cleared the client of any wrong doing, proving that ethics are a nonpartisan issue that helps businesses and governments prosper.
A law firm hired Kimberly as their Fractional CFO to help guide them through rapid growth, doubling in size in one year. Kimberly helped the law firm with staff capacity planning, cash flow projections, marketing campaign analysis, setting KPIs, and more.
Kimberly is a practicing attorney, licensed in Georgia. And this isn’t her first rodeo. She’s been advising companies for years.
She started in her own firm, advising companies, including a local liquor store, a real estate joint venture, a construction company, and more. Then she went on to become the law firm administrator (think: Chief Financial Officer or a Chief Administrative Officer) for a multi-state insurance defense firm.
But running a law firm that catered to insurance companies wasn’t really doing it for Kimberly. So she went on to a financial consulting firm, working with major corporations – many of which you would know their names. In industries such as software and technology, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, banking, and health care. She saw the best and the worst of corporate America. Most importantly, she was tasked with fixing many of the issues in the financial and legal workings of these companies.
Then she went in-house, with a high growth logistics company. She was in the middle of the supply chain crisis, working to fix her corner of that massive problem throughout the pandemic. She helped to scale that company by 2x in revenue and 3x in head count.
Recently, she also served as Fractional CFO to a variety of law firms that were growing 2-10 times a year. She worked with these firms to design growth forecasts, capacity and compensation plans, and manage cash flow while growing.
She now brings all of her experience, working with these companies to you.
