ABOUT US

A life-long dream came to fruition when Kim Clark founded I Deserve Better...NOW!, a money management firm that teaches individuals and families how to organize their incomes based on their goals and choice of lifestyle. The company provides realistic, durable and ethical action plans through small group seminars offered by local organizations.

Owner, Kim Clark, applies the knowledge and expertise gained from over 10 years in Corporate Accounting to accomplish the company's mission, which is to educate and coach generations on becoming better money managers. Since beginning in January 2006, IDBNow! has serviced clients from ages 14 and beyond 70 years of age.

Ms. Clark earned her degree in Business Administration from Bethel College in North Newton Kansas in 1992. She is currently employed as Billing Auditor in the Accounting Department at a local newspaper company. In addition to her full-time job and fulfilling the demands of a small business owner, Kim also makes time to give back to the community. She has volunteered with Big Brothers & Sisters, the Bethel College African American Alumni Association and Junior Achievement. She currently volunteers at High Point Church in Arlington, Texas in the Youth Ministry. Ms. Clark has been a featured guest speaker and instructor for classes and workshops held by the Fort Worth Business Assistance Center (FWBAC), Big Brothers & Sisters of North Texas, Texas Christian University's Upward Bound program and A Place to Belong Ministries.

As a result of her efforts, Ms. Clark has helped single parents reorganize their finances to obtain better housing, influenced families to communicate about their financial goals and coached small groups on how to save cash for emergencies and specific needs. Her hands-on approach teaches clients to prioritize their expenses for long-term gain.

The success of IDBNow! is due to support from the Fort Worth Business Assistance Center, clients who desire changes in their finances and Kim's determination to develop generations of better money managers.

"Kim's assistance was invaluable to me during my recent transition in moving from my mother's house into my own place. Prior to the move, Kim helped me set a realistic budget on what I could afford for rent and utilities, which helped me narrow my search and quickly find a place. Once I moved in, her budget also assisted me in setting my spending priorities and outlining my goals, both short-term and long-term. The entire process was much easier with her help."
