Zig Ziglar said, “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” For Kim Kaufman, Co-Founder of JK Financial, those words are more than a favorite quote. They’re the foundation of how she leads, serves and gives back.

Whether she’s helping advisors grow, supporting clients or investing in her community, Kim is driven by a simple belief: success means creating opportunities for others to thrive. That servant-hearted mindset has helped shape the culture at JK Financial and aligns perfectly with Integrity’s Core Values of Partnership and Service.

 

Alongside her husband and business partner, Jeff Kaufman, Kim is passionate about supporting organizations making a lasting impact in central Missouri. Through Love Columbia, she helps support families working toward stability through housing, employment and other essential resources. Her involvement with St. Raymond’s Society helps provide education, encouragement and practical support for expectant mothers. And through Coyote Hill, she supports a mission dedicated to creating safe, nurturing homes for children in foster care and families facing difficult circumstances.

Kim’s impact extends far beyond business. Through her generosity, leadership and commitment to others, she’s helping strengthen families, uplift communities and create opportunities for people to succeed. Integrity is proud to celebrate Kim and the entire JK Financial team for demonstrating that the greatest success comes from serving others.
