Hi, I'm Karen Koenig, a financial planner and the founder of KK Financial Solutions.
My career began with 26 years in the military, where I retired as a Major. After my military career, I worked in a variety of industries, including electronics, aerospace, and defense, specializing in Project Management. Throughout my career, I’ve discovered my passion for working with people and helping them achieve their goals using my detailed project management approach.
I started my practice as a financial planner in 2016 with the desire to work with business owners and women looking to work on their wealth management.
I have two kids, Jarod and Jenna. They both live in Nebraska, my son works as a farmer and my daughter works in human services. Between the two of them I have five grandchildren!
In my free time, I travel extensively both locally and abroad, I ride a Harley, but on top of these adventures, I love to quilt.
If you are interested in learning more about financial advisory services, please contact me for a free consultation! I hope to become your trusted financial coach.

Through my public speaking engagements and my published book, I find passion and purpose by empowering women to grow their wealth and set up their businesses for financial success through investment management.

✔️ Award winning author & advocate for women’s rights
My book “Woman on Top” shares my experience on how I navigated male-dominated industries while retaining femininity and grace. As a woman business owner, I know how to help women make their voices heard in a male-dominated industries. And, as a divorcee, I can relate to clients undergoing this major life change and help them with any large settlements and financial changes that result.

I served in the Air Force for 26 years so I understand being deployed, the pension we are offered, and the Thrift Savings Plan for retirement growth. Being a veteran myself, I can identify with the pain points you feel and provide customized financial advice to help you reach your financial goals. I do this in a way that is easy to understand and takes the fear out of money and investing. Who better to manage and help you with your money than someone who understands where you have been?

Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
