![Kim Robinson Bio](https://www.rnraccountants.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Kim-long-bio-copy-684x1024.jpg)
Kim Robinson, MBA, EA
Kim grew up in Rapid City, graduating from Central High School. She joined the SD Army National Guard in 2002 and is proud to still serve, currently as the Health Services HR Officer for the Medical Readiness Detachment in the rank of Major.
Kim completed her bachelor’s degree at the University of South Dakota in 2006, and her master’s at Colorado Technical University in 2010. She worked as a General Manager for a multi-state tax firm for a few years, where she fell in love with helping businesses and individuals with tax needs and was introduced to IRS tax resolution. She switched to a larger firm for further experience, tested for and obtained her Enrolled Agent credential, and furthered her education with tax resolution.
Kim lives in Summerset, SD with her husband, Bracken, their daughters, Arya & Kylie, and their sons, Aiden & Quinn. Kim enjoys being outdoors hiking and fishing, baking and crafts, and cheering for her children in their different activities. She enjoys volunteering in the local community and has organized fundraisers for both local and national charities (especially for those focused on helping children).
While still in school, one of Kim’s daughters was diagnosed with a chronic health condition, and she learned first-hand the importance of a trusted advisor (for her daughter’s medical needs). Kim strives to fill the trusted advisor role for her clients, understanding that accounting is not the specialty of most business owners. She tailors plans to meet their individual needs, allowing clients to focus their attention on their own priorities.
