Coach Kimberly Fowler-Garner is a business coach and tax industry educator who teaches tax professionals how to get clear, get confident, and build a business that actually works for them. She created the I.D.E.A.L.

She’s also known for breaking down AI and automation in a way anyone can understand — no tech headache required. Through her company, TaxPro Software Solutions, she shows tax pros how to use modern tools to save time, stay organized, and run their business like a real CEO instead of feeling stuck, stressed, or doing everything by hand.

After becoming an enrolled agent she began to fully help her clients negotiate with the IRS and represent them in audits. Later, in 2021, her company became Bowens Tax Solutions, as their primary focus is now to represent taxpayers before the IRS.
