One Accountant’s Advice: “Never Stop Doing This!”

Kemberley Washington is a certified public accountant in New Orleans known as ‘The Tax Angel”. She’s a favorite—on-air, online, and on the You Version Bible application saying, “I have appeared on many media outlets where I share tax tips, consumer tips and I write stories to help con­sumers. He opened up so many doors, in my life and I knew it had to do with my obedience to Him as far as tithing.”

Kemberely was hired right after college. She explains, “God had allowed me to work for the IRS to learn about all of these different laws, tax laws, but I could use it in a different way where I can really help people.”

At the same time, she started to faithfully tithe rather than occasionally withhold it. Kemberely says, “Extra bills that month, car might even break down, whatever the case. Just seemed like everything would go off in my finances. So I was like, ‘okay, God, let me get back on it’! It was just like financial blessings would happen. That's when I really saw God’s hand just really move on my life.”

Along the way, Kemberely once lost everything she owned, remaining faithful to give, even in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, keeping the financial promise, she’d made to God, at the start of her career. She remembers, “You're just asking God, ‘why’, you know, ‘what is this?’ I’m being honest; I thought God had deserted me. During the time in the ups and downs I continued to tithe. I was blessed. My job did not stop paying me. That was a blessing within itself. I do believe giving to God, putting ­God first in your finances.”

A relief center provided her with inspiration to assist victims of loss, saying “so         I just set up, put a little sign up, CPA, and I just help people with their finances as it relates to taxes, when it comes to a disaster loss. And that was my way of giving back.”

Kemberley also gives to CBN - as a 2500 Club member, stating, “When I can partner with a ministry like CBN, I'm more than grateful to do it. I'm committed to helping partnerships like this. And I like the work that CBN is doing with the broadcast, the prayers. That means a lot to me and so that’s the reason why I give. I am a tither, and I strongly believe because God has done so much for me.”

Her message hasn’t changed. Give. Trust. And never stop! Kimberely says, “Try God and see, He says that even in His word. A blessing that you will not have room enough to receive. Just not in finances. It's the peace in your life, the victories that you'll receive. And if we can support a ministry, support our church, why not do it? And with that, God would even give you, like they say here in New Orleans, “lagniappe” something extra. Right? (laugh). And that's what God has done for me.”

Psalm 41:1 says, “Blessed is he who considers the poor; the LORD will deliver Him in time of trouble.” When you partner with CBN, you do more than just give to the poor.
