Our mission is to bring clarity and care to every client relationship.
At Knoward, we help individuals, businesses, and families take confident steps forward - not just through numbers, but through honest conversations, structure, and support. We offer more than bookkeeping and compliance. We offer peace of mind.
Knoward was founded on the belief that finance should never feel intimidating or isolating.
After years in corporate accounting and financial services, Kim Shepherd saw a glaring gap - small business owners, self-employed professionals, and family clients were overwhelmed and underserved. Knoward was born from her drive to change that. We’ve grown through word of mouth, long-term client trust, and a commitment to doing things properly. Whether we’re helping a client get their books up to date or guiding them through their first investment property, our approach is always personal, structured, and supportive.
