Who is Dr. Kimberly Turner the Financial Advisor?

I primarily serve physicians, business owners, pastors, families, and charitable organizations, while also enjoying the opportunity to work with clients across every stage of their financial journey.


I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional and Certified Exit Planning Advisor who works with business owners to bring clarity and structure to succession, exit, and long‑term financial planning. I understand the demands business owners face—balancing daily responsibilities while trying to plan for the future. My role is to help you make intentional, informed decisions about what comes next by aligning your business strategies with your personal financial goals. This approach helps ensure transitions are thoughtful, tax‑aware, and aligned with what matters most to you and your family.


Many business owners spend years building value but delay planning for succession or exit until decisions become urgent. I help shift that process from reactive to proactive by coordinating personal wealth planning with business transition strategies, so there are fewer surprises and more confident decisions along the way. At the core of my work is a commitment to helping business owners move forward with confidence—knowing the financial decisions they make today are supporting long‑term security, a smooth transition, and a meaningful legacy.

Outside of the office, I stay busy enjoying time with family and friends and giving back through volunteer work. I enjoy meaningful conversations and have a strong passion for studying and sharing the Holy Bible with others.


I value both learning and teaching and enjoy a wide range of interests, including tennis, interior decorating, floral arranging, walking, playing mah jong, traveling, fine dining, and hosting friends and family.


Over the years, I’ve been involved with several community and professional organizations, including Habitat for Humanity, the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the Affordable Housing Council, The American College, and the Financial Planning Association.
