I am the Consultant Relationship Director for Clifton Larson Allen LLP's CAAS (Client Accounting and Advisory Services) practices in Northern California, Denver, Nashville, and Washington DC. In this role, I select and hire new consultants, maintain consultant/firm relationships, and act as a liaison between our consultants and our client relationship managers. Prior to joining CLA, I spent 13 years engaged in part-time consulting work with various small companies in the Charlotte, NC area. Some of the most significant of these experiences included serving as CFO of a software company for over 4 years and assisting with its ultimate sale, setting up accounting systems and procedures for a new bank holding company, preparing budgets and forecasts for a company seeking to raise capital, performing all accounting and finance functions for 3 closely held S-corporations, and devising new account reconciliation procedures for a major property management firm. My previous experience also includes 5 years as an Audit Manager with a Big 4 firm and 2 years as a corporate Controller in the pharmaceutical research industry, giving me a broad base of knowledge and perspective.
