Why I Love Supporting LMC Midwives
After working alongside hundreds of LMC midwives over the past few years, I've come to understand that being a self-employed midwife is about so much more than running a business. It's about walking alongside women and their whānau during one of the most important times of their lives. The trust you build, the relationships you form, and the care you provide often extend far beyond the birth itself.
Over the years, I have developed an enormous admiration for what you do. I've seen the countless hours you dedicate to your women and their whānau, the antenatal appointments, the long labours, the postnatal visits, the late-night phone calls, the paperwork, the endless kilometres on the road, and the emotional investment that comes with caring so deeply.
I've also seen the business side that comes with being an LMC. The GST returns, tax obligations, ACC invoices, student loans, IRD deadlines and everything else that comes with running a business often gets squeezed into the small gaps between caring for your women and trying to find time for yourself.
Being an LMC midwife isn't simply a profession, it's a calling. That's why I believe your accountant should understand not only your numbers, but also your world.
Continuity of Care
One of the things I hear time and time again from LMC midwives is how much they value the continuity of care they can provide. Unlike CORE midwives, where women may see different midwives throughout their pregnancy, birth and postnatal journey, LMC midwives have the privilege of building genuine, long-term relationships with the women and their whānau. Being there throughout the journey allows trust to grow and ensures women have someone familiar by their side every step of the way.
I believe your accountant should be no different.
At Ktrio, you'll receive that same continuity of care. When you choose Ktrio, you choose Kylie. You won't be passed from one team member to another or have to explain your story to someone new every time you have a question. I'll be your dedicated accountant, getting to know you, your business and your goals, so I can provide support that's personal, consistent and tailored to you.
Just as you walk alongside your women throughout their journey, I'll walk alongside you throughout yours, providing trusted advice, ongoing support and someone who genuinely understands both your business and your profession.
Accounting That Fits Around Your Life as a Midwife
Whether you're a brand-new graduate navigating self-employment for the first time or an experienced LMC midwife, I'll tailor my support around you. With transparent monthly packages, there are no surprise invoices every time you need advice, just ongoing support from someone who genuinely wants to see you succeed.
I also understand that sleep is precious.
You'll never receive an unexpected phone call from me because I know you may have finally crawled into bed after a long labour or an overnight birth. Instead, I'll always send you a text message first, asking when it suits you to chat or inviting you to call me back when you've had some well-earned rest. Your time matters, and I respect the unpredictable nature of your work.
Let Me Take Care of the Numbers
With everything you already have on your plate, the last thing you should be worrying about is GST, tax, ACC, student loans, Xero, or trying to work out what IRD expects from you.
Staying compliant as a self-employed midwife means keeping accurate records, meeting filing deadlines, understanding what you can claim, and making sure you're putting enough aside for tax throughout the year. It can feel overwhelming, especially when your focus is where it should be, caring for your women and their whānau.
My role as an experienced midwife accountant is to guide you through those obligations, ensure you stay compliant, and give you confidence that everything is taken care of correctly.
Compliance isn't just about lodging tax returns on time. It's about understanding your business, keeping your records organised, knowing what IRD requires, and making informed decisions throughout the year, not just at tax time. I'll help you stay one step ahead, explain things simply, answer your questions, and make sure there are no nasty surprises when GST, income tax or ACC invoices arrive.

I'll be there to hold yours through your business journey.
