Connecting in my community and fueling our local economy by supporting the amazing businesses that are found here is my greatest passion at Platinum Group. Utilizing 30 years of expertise in Accounting, HR, Employee Management and Cash Management, I have enjoyed listening to and helping my clients achieve their goals and grow their businesses. It has been so gratifying to be a part of an interconnected web of local businesses, created by mutual support and referral streams generated from strong relationships.The bulk of our client list is local businesses of diverse size and backgrounds. We work with many non-profits, offering a tangible price point to help them thrive. Platinum Group is also on an ever-increasing mission to be as paperless as possible, reducing impact on the environment.I see our community’s greatest opportunity is to preserve and support why so many choose to live here: the close-knit, friendly culture; the high concentration of amazing local businesses; and our beautiful mountains.In my down time, first and foremost, I enjoy spending time with my family. We love to hike and attend the LEAF festival, and listen to local music performances. I love that we have big city talent and activities that are available at a price point most can afford. Road biking in these hills is a fun challenge for me that I have been enjoying for over 10 years. The steep inclines and curves of the roads here continue to have my utmost respect.I feel investing in our community with our dollars, energy and expertise is the best thing we can do to keep the special feel that people find here when they visit.Please reach out to me if I can offer guidance to your business, or fill you in on my favorite spots in Asheville.
