Hello,
My name is Kim. Nice to meet you.

I look at money and finance in a different way to most people.

I can help you with your accounting systems and procedures, whether you are a CEO of a business, own your own company (possibly a start-up), or an individual who needs help with your personal finances.

However, as well as practical solutions, I can also help you understand and improve your relationship with money, because this can have a huge effect on both your business and personal life. Sometimes it&apos;s things like money blocks and money ceilings that can have a bigger impact on your business than you realise.

Money Chats

Money Chats is an informal group hosted over Zoom, where you can talk about money and find support.

Amelia McNamara has over 16 years of experience in accounting roles across multiple sectors, having worked for small family-run businesses and large multinationals.
In 2022, Amelia faced a pivotal moment in her career. With the arrival of her first child, she was confronted with the choice between her professional aspirations and the precious time she could spend with her daughter. Having experienced the loss of her mother at a young age, she understood the value of family time. This profound realization led her to step away from the security of her corporate job and embark on the challenging yet rewarding journey of entrepreneurship, founding her own business to create a life that aligned with her values.
Amelia&apos;s professional journey is marked by significant achievements. She is Ireland’s first Certified Profit First Professional, a testament to her expertise in financial management. She is the proud owner and operator of Graceful Accounting, a bespoke bookkeeping practice she founded to assist business owners with their finance functions. This innovative approach to accounting has been recognized, with Graceful Accounting being named a finalist in the Irish Xero awards category “Emerging Firm of the Year” in its very first year.
Originally from London, Amelia lives in Cork with her husband and two daughters. Amelia is a qualified Accounting Technician with a bachelor&apos;s degree in accounting. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, cooking, and travelling.

Hello and welcome; let me introduce myself. My name is Michael from Strategic Goal Management Consulting. I am a renowned business coach and management consultant based in Norfolk, near Norwich. My passion is helping others to succeed with their personal and business goals, and I have a<a href=&apos;https://strategicgoal.co.uk/case-studies/&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;> proven track record</a> of doing just that.
I strongly believe in developing people through coaching, mentoring, and leadership development. All of these can help you reach your maximum potential and have significant positive effects on your business and personal life.
As a senior business leader, I have gained significant knowledge of diverse business functions, principles, and strategic leadership. However, most of my success in the public and private sectors can be attributed to my ability to coach, engage and motivate people as a transformational dealer.
My emphasis on the importance of people first led me to coaching as a basic training instructor in the British Army in 2007. Due to its effectiveness, I have continued to advocate coaching as a leader to improve personal and team performance.
Having achieved great success as a business leader, I am now paying it forward by supporting business owners and individuals in achieving their own success. This is the main reason that I get up in the morning. I am highly motivated to help you succeed, and I take great pleasure in seeing the results that I help deliver. I enable companies to solve their business problems, scale growth, and improve their leadership teams.
Read on to hear more about my career. I aim to provide a context of my experience so that you can gauge whether or not I am the right person to help you. However, I suggest giving me a call to see what Strategic Goal Management can do to support you and your business.
I am a <a href=&apos;https://www.managers.org.uk/digital-badge-verification/?bg=50767&eid=9224&user=7sRqRFftNy_qUmOZ-IVbNiajLEy_2WcrIkOQUayabxo&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>Chartered Manager and Fellow</a> of the <a href=&apos;https://www.managers.org.uk/&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>Chartered Management Institute</a> with a first-class honour’s degree in Leadership and Management. I am also a member of the<a href=&apos;https://www.apm.org.uk/&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;> Association for Project Management</a>, the Institute of Leadership and Management and a technical member of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.
Currently, I am studying for an MBA and undertaking further professional development as a coach and business consultant.
Before starting Strategic Goal Management, I spent three and a half years as a Managing Director for Clearview Communications, based in Essex. I achieved outstanding results, and the company flourished and experienced significant growth during my time there.
I was formally acknowledged for my success and was nominated as a ‘Business Leader of the Year SME’ finalist by the Ex-Forces in Business Awards.
Previously, I worked in various management and leadership roles, including as the Head of Operations for a large power company. I operated a<a href=&apos;https://www.cfmoller.com/p/Greenwich-Peninsula-Low-Carbon-Energy-Centre-i2325.html&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;> state-of-the-art energy centre</a> in North Greenwich as part of an £87.5m project, the largest district heating network in Europe.
In my first civilian role after leaving the military, I managed operations at Bromley by Bow, the busiest delivery station in the Amazon network. During the role, I was responsible for the operational elements of the UK launch of Amazon Fresh and the turnaround of a failing operation.
As a British Army veteran with nearly 17 years of service in the Army Air Corps. This experience is where I honed and developed my coaching, leadership, and management skills. I was responsible for managing complex high-tempo operations, including Apache attack helicopter ground operations in the UK and internationally.
During my military career, I received operational service medals for deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and was awarded the Long Service and Good Conduct medal in 2015.
As a passionate advocate for ex-military veterans, I support them into civilian employment (for free) during their transition out of the military. In the last five years, I have successfully coached and mentored over thirty ex-forces personnel into senior management and leadership roles.
