Money does not grow on Trees!
Day in and day out Kim Garland does not get ENOUGH "credit" when it comes to the value added to our Accounting practices.
With a past, strong background running her own Accounting Services business, Kim came into Nys Enterprises and completely reorganized and established healthier bookkeeping.
Day to Day Kim is carefully focused on all accounting essentials such as our Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Payroll.
Kim takes great pride in keeping Vendors happy and providing a peace of mind to our clients. Let's turn all this team momentum full circle shall we?:
Kim Garland originally funded the $900 payment towards Steve Nys's dump truck purchase, forgoing their rent payment that month, many years ago. If it weren't for Kim & Steves ambition to draw in some revenue in order to make the bills, Would Nys Enterprises be standing here today? Kim took the initiative to take accounting classes while Steve ran the sales show. Kim said to Steve "Well, Let's do this, Lets really start a business" & here she is back in the game 40 years later picking right back up, where she left off.
Funny how life can have its way, circling back around.!
Nevertheless, Credit needs to be given, where its due. Thank you for all your hard work!!
