HPC, formerly known as Harshman Phillips & Company, acquired my firm Cloudsourced Accounting in 2015. After the merger, I joined HPC as Director of Technology & Marketing.

There are plenty of great bookkeepers, but only a few that also understand the power of technology to automate and improve processes. That's why I started Cloudsourced Accounting. When hardly anyone else was doing it, we innovated by using the latest cloud accounting apps to provide technology consulting and bookkeeping services to customers all over the country. And we all worked from home.In under three years, my co-founder and I grew Cloudsourced Accounting from zero to a dozen team members spread out over four states serving hundreds of customers. Cloudsourced Accounting was acquired by Harshman Phillips & Company (HPC) in 2015.
