I’m Kimberly Ferguson, the Visionary Architect behind The Emerald Edge, where we’re redefining what it means to partner with an accountant. I hold a Bachelor’s in Business Management, a Master’s in Accountancy, and I’m both an IRS Enrolled Agent and a Certified CFO—but what really sets me apart is how I use that expertise. I built The Emerald Edge on values that matter more than spreadsheets: clarity, connection, and courage. After watching too many business owners get treated like line items at traditional firms, I decided to create something different—a company designed to elevate both profits and peace of mind. For me, accounting isn’t about compliance checkboxes; it’s about creating the freedom to thrive. What started as a compliance-heavy practice has grown into an advisory firm that helps ambitious business owners align their strategy with their goals, simplify the chaos, and scale with purpose. I’m not afraid to challenge outdated thinking or call out toxic hustle-culture myths that keep CEOs stuck. Instead, I show my clients how to reclaim their time, profits, and confidence by building businesses that actually serve their lives—not consume them. At The Emerald Edge, my mission is clear: to give business owners the sharpest tools, insights, and strategies to stay ahead—without losing themselves in the process.
