Founder of Connected Business Solutions
Meet Kylie Reid
When I started this business in 2011, my vision was simple—to help small businesses like yours take control of their numbers and achieve lasting success.
Based in Gippsland, Victoria, we serve clients not just locally but across NT, Vic, and NSW.
What began as a one-woman show has grown to a tight-knit team dedicated to providing exceptional service, clear advice, and practical solutions.
