KYM Advisors Inc.

Our Story

I established KYM in 2010 as a small consulting business to provide financial planning and analysis (FP&A) services to clients in Delaware. I previously led multiple high-visibility data-driven FP&A activities for global banks, corporations and other clients. However, after having children, I quickly realized that these large organizations are not as agile as they claim, and a number of corporate promises about work-life-balance and family-friendly environments were just that... promises.

My kids were still very young and needed parental attention, so I decided to own my changing circumstances, and shifted my career approach and corporate trajectory. I started KYM to work with smaller businesses that could benefit from my large business experience at a more affordable small business budget. As I moved to the DC area with my family, I continued to work with smaller and not-for-profit organizations. My vision for KYM was to create an organization that was nimble, responsive, and flexible to accommodate employee needs as they transition through different stages in life without sacrificing their careers and growth opportunities.

My husband joined KYM in 2012, and together we developed KYM as a small business that was very supportive of our small employee base. As KYM's growth accelerated, we continued to work very hard to stay true to our commitment to KYM's core principles. It's not always easy juggling employee constraints, client needs, COVID, the great resignation, etc. - but we continue to strive to offer an environment where our team members thrive personally, and professionally.
