Background: I am a licensed CPA since 2011 and have experience in governmental audits, personal tax, business tax, tax planning, monthly financial statement preparation, and business development/succession planning. Through these experiences I have learned how to assist my clients by delivering quality financial statements for investors and creditors and they continue to grow their businesses; feel more at ease when facing stressful tax deadlines; and solve problems in providing confident responses to IRS notices. Professional Involvement & Qualifications:I am a past president board member of the KSCPA Metro Chapter, and an active member of the Lee's Summit Chamber of Commerce as a representative of Mize CPAs. Being involved with multiple organizations has taught me how to stay organized while maintaining a variety of responsibilties. I earned an MBA in management from the University of Missouri - Kansas City, and Bachelor's degree in Accounting from University of Central Missouri.Personal:Born and raised in Lee's Summit, MO. Aside from working at desk most days, I love getting out for a chance to network and meet new people to learn about their companies. I enjoy spending free time with my friends and family. We take any opportunity to travel to new places, whether it is to lay on the beach in Hawaii or ski down a mountain in Montana!
