⚜ I have always been fascinated by the plight of the small businessman (or woman). I believed (mistakenly) that by becoming an Industrial Engineer that I would be in the best position to help these people achieve their objectives. However, I soon realized that in order to understand the small business person, I would have to become one myself. So from 1997 to 2003 I worked as a Realtor (indepedent contractor), then from 2004 until 2011 I owned a General Contracting company which performed home repairs and remodeling. In 2008 I realized that I would be the most effective if I returned to my objective of helping the small business person, so i enrolled at UCO in order to obtain the necessary upper-division accounting credits in order to take the CPA exam, which brings us to the present. ⚜🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷AREAS OF EXPERTISE INCLUDE:🔷 CPA firm experience Owner & Operator🔷Active CPA license🔷Bachelor’s degree, Industrial Engineering🔷Proficiency in income tax preparation and compliance🔷Excellent technical accounting skills🔷Strong Excel and other software skills🔷Excellent oral and written communication skills🔷Excellent attention to detail🔷Strong interpersonal and client service skills🔷Ability to handle multiple priorities, clients and tight deadlines
