Driven by my passion for helping the owners of privately-held businesses reach their goals, both personal and business. For over the last 15+ years, I worked closely with business owners as they expanded, turned around, funded, pivoted and/or exited. I provide my consulting services on an as-needed long-term basis. This helps privately-held businesses as they benefit from my experience, without the fully loaded cost of a full-time employee.I personally founded, built and sold a business successfully, gaining valuable learning along the way (nothing beats personal hands on experience!) This differentiates me as I understand at a very personal level the trade offs and sacrifices required to build, sustain and successfully exit a business.Recently relocated from the San Francisco Bay Area to be closer to family in Coastal Virginia, I am excited to be part of this community again and to have the opportunity to leverage my insights, connections and passion about business financial management here.Well rounded accounting and tax professional with deep experience in both the public and private sectors. Proven team builder, effective communicator and strategic thinker. Experienced working productively with a diverse team.
