As a Partner of an accounting software company, an owner of a 100% Indian-owned Tribal consulting firm, and a member of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, I pride myself in my 22 years of financial related work. Over the years, I have worked with approximately 30 Native Nations across Indian Country. In fact, I have maintained a decade-long relationship with a client due to customer satisfaction. My repeat customers often call me when they require accounting software tailored to tribal government needs, staff training, and audit preparation. My successes include:• Coached staff, of varying abilities, through mastering of the per capita distribution process.• Transitioned tribes to paperless purchase order and timesheet tracking systems. • Righted lost documentation.• Righted numerous audit findings. • Tailored existing “cookie cutter” accounting software to meet the needs of tribal governments.• Designed and implemented individualized accounting systems for tribes.My consulting services include:• Utilization of Intacct, a cloud-based accounting system able to house all of your combined casino and governmental needs.• Installation of MIP, a mainstream accounting software geared toward government/non-profits and used by many tribal nations.• Instruction in accounting procedure and software utility for tribal finance department staff.• Provision and management of temporary accounting staff.As a consultant, I am often placed in a position of trust and mentorship; I value my ability to remain approachable and professional. The most rewarding part of my role as a consultant is the ability to assist fellow natives in their economic and personal development. I am thankful for the opportunity to follow my passion for tribal economic development and bring my knowledge and expertise to the diverse nations throughout Indian Country.
