BNIM's Chief Financial Officer, Kristin Atkinson, has been named a Kansas City Business Journal  2016 CFO of the Year Honoree in the for-profit company category. The program honors outstanding financial executives for their contributions to the success of area companies and nonprofit organizations. 

What makes Kristin particularly unique in her role as BNIM's CFO is that she is able to achieve a rare balance between delving deep into the firm’s financials while being able to clearly and effectively communicate key points to all employees.

Her skills, honed through more than 30 years of experience in increasingly progressive financial leadership roles, have strengthened BNIM in terms of financial success, company growth, and generosity to employees. Her approach to the firm’s business mirrors BNIM’s approach to its work, which strives to impact the triple bottom line — people, planet, and prosperity.
