I have eight and a half years of public accounting experience and one year in the private industry working in business development for a local developer/construction manager. The bulk of my experience in the accounting industry has consisted of advising real estate professionals with large portfolios of multifamily residential and commercial properties spread throughout Virginia, as well as, various states along the east coast. I have extensive experience creating sales projections for an entire portfolio of real estate holdings in an effort to calculate the gain on a sale, tax impact, and cash after tax figures based on a sale of real property or a sale of partnership interest. My first four years of public accounting were in the audit department. During this time, I gainedthe knowledge of GAAP financial reporting. This experience trained me to evaluate a company’sfinancial records with a detailed approach, as well as, taking a step back and seeing the biggerpicture from an analytical view. The final four years in public accounting was spent navigatingthe tax code and working my way up to a tax manager.
