    My approach is to take a holistic approach to my clients’ financial issues and I’m able to perform accounting “triage” to quickly assess the business’s needs. Then I provide solutions that take all aspects into account—not just a band-aid fix.

  • Success story

    I once joined a company where the accounting department was not respected and the information provided was not relied upon and was considered to be useless. Within one year's time I was able to shorten the financial close, increase accuracy, improve staff knowledge, and learn enough about the company so that the questions changed from "Why did you record this wrong?" to "Can you help me understand what I'm doing wrong?"
