I am a Big 4 CPA and Senior Consultant with over 30 years of experience in finance leadership, technical accounting, internal controls, and business process improvement. I am a trusted advisor to executives, boards and audit committees with strengths in finance, risk management and processes.As a RoseRyan consultant, I help clients go further faster when they don't have the internal capabilities or bandwidth. I am able to hit the ground running, step in and get things done with little direction. My particular strengths are with technical accounting, finance leadership, internal controls and business process design. All of my favorite activities come together with helping clients to adapt to change, such as growth in the business or adopting new accounting standards. I love being a part of the Finance Dream Team and providing my "been there, done that!" expertise to clients. I love the flexibility and diversity of consulting with multiple clients. I enjoy the diversity of roles that I play, such as leading Technical Accounting projects; fractional CFO; and interim and project assignments.I have deep corporate and operational finance experience with both public and private companies, including Corporate Controller at VNUS Medical Devices, Electroglas Inc., and Digital Interiors. I have been the Chief Financial Advisor for Grail Family Services for over 15 years. And, I have served on non-profit Boards for over 20 years, including serving as Board Chair, Treasurer, and Finance Committee Chair.When not helping my clients, I love to get outdoors hiking, mountain biking and gardening with my significant other.
