✦ About KMS Solutions and Our Approach to Solving your Concerns
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ADMINISTRATIVE WORK PLEASE NOTE THAT:
I am available remotely to do any serious administrative tasks. But please no dog walking or driving people to the doctor or other none business tasks. Best to use me for high end clerical or analysis work. Thank you.
I founded KMS Solutions to provide business advisory & technology services helping businesses become more efficient, effective and competitive. In my 42 years of consulting work I have consulted and advised over 300 organizations in the US and Europe. The projects are both large and small focused on strategy development, business and technology planning, systems development, operational reviews and business advisory services.
We help clients define their business processes and strategy in a clear, and concise manner. The work is done collaboratively with the client. With notable Fortune 500 corporate experience KMS has been gravitating to work with small and mid-sized businesses and startups since 2023. We offer our services currently at a significantly discounted rate as we build our reputation at Thumbtack. Our typical rates are $185 to $250 an hour.
KMS is committed to providing high quality, cost-effective services and agile solutions to a broad client base. Our clients include small and mid-sized businesses in a variety of industries, notably, manufacturing, financial support services, real estate, construction engineering, technology, and a number of professional services firms and organizations.
KMS enjoys an excellent reputation in servicing its clients and as a 30 year Business Partner with IBM.

Hired Kevin in October 2023 for help with writing a formal Business Plan. I was very impressed with the way he made sure I was able to connect with the right people to further expand my business. He made recommendations on ways to improve my business which I had not thought about before. He researched local groups I can join to network with and Zoomed into one of the meetings to make sure it was the right fit. Working with him, it felt like he was personally invested in making sure my business succeed and not just doing this as a side hustle. I definitely would hire him again if there was a need. I would highly recommend him for any work you might be considering because he went above and beyond the work he was contracted for.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
While KMS typically works on a hourly basis we also work on fixed fee projects. It is our expectation that many of our Thumbtack clients will prefer a fixed fee arrangement with a clear deliverable in mind.
While we are new to Thumbtack we are not at all new to addressing and solving clients problems. And since we are new to Thumbtack we are open minded to pricing arrangements that will suit you best.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We take a very methodical approach to our client assignments. A typical project has well defined objectives that are supported by documented work tasks and planned deliverables. We work closely with our clients each step along the way. A typical project has these tasks:
1. Project Planning. Deliverables are a project workplan.
2. Discovery and Investigation. Deliverables are research items and meeting notes.
3. Review and Discuss. Deliverables are write-ups and reviews of pertinent project issues and possible solutions.
4. Draft Recommendations and Next Steps. Deliverables are formal action plans based on client input and reviews.
5. Project Management. Deliverables are workplans and status reports.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Ideal clients for KMS are looking to improve business processes to reduce cost or increase profit through the appropriate use of technology.
- Business planning and process reviews
