Kimme Lafayette is the owner of Beyond Bookkeeping Business Services. She opened in 2014 but worked as an employee Bookkeeper for several years prior to that.
Ever since high school, she has been passionate about numbers. After high school, she began a post-secondary education goal to become an Accountant but quickly realized that wasn’t what she wanted to do. She was offered a position in a different industry and accepted.
Fast-forward several years, and she still felt like her career was leaving her feeling empty. She had taken night school courses several times over the years related to accounting and taxes and finally decided to leave the management world she had become a part of and follow her heart.
That’s when she learned about being a Bookkeeper rather than an Accountant….and what a world of difference that made. There’s been no looking back.
When she isn’t working, she is a certified Scuba Instructor and dives as often as possible. She plays competitive billiards and has won the Canadian Amateur Championships twice. Cuddle time with her two dogs is a huge part of her daily routine, and she is an avid motorcyclist. Wind therapy is the best! Or second best next to water therapy!
Why are you seeking election to the CPB Canada Board, and what do you think you bring?
I’ve gratefully served as a Director on the Board for CPB Canada for the last 3 years. It’s been my honour to work with other Board members and the staff at CPB Canada to continuously improve and bring a higher level of recognition to our industry. Although this past 3 year term was my first term on the Board, I’ve seen such significant organizational growth and am glad that I was able to contribute to that. If I were to be re-elected for another term, I would bring the experience I’ve developed over this past term, passion for the future of CPB Canada and the industry, and a keen interest in continuing on the CPB Canada journey to excellence!
