How I can help
I’ve always liked accounting, but my journey has some twists and turns.
I started in a large CPA firm and then a large corporation where I learned I was more personable than the other accountants and I could talk ‘non-techy’ language to my clients and colleagues. But … I didn’t fit the corporate mold — some just didn’t “get” that an accountant could be super serious and focused yet still be personable. I realized I needed to make a change (although, it took me years to figure that out)!
I know who I am now and what I’m passionate about: being the accountant that is a high achiever and focused … yet is personable and can explain things to you in terms you can understand / with information you can use.
I understand small businesses and hope we can sort through your business together.

Some say they “like” to be organized. For me, I “need” to be organized. It helps me track the mass amount of information I have in business, but it’s beyond that-it is calming.

Pricing and what I strive for
When we first start working together, it may take a little time to figure out “what is going on”. This is especially true if you are behind and your books need clean-up. But as we continue to work together, I strive to use fixed fees — I am trying to give my clients peace of mind by knowing what the monthly fee is going to be so there are no surprise invoices.

We talk upfront about the fees. It’s important to make sure we both see value.
