I have twenty years of broad professional accounting experience in a range of organizations and industries, including Big 4 Accounting, small to mid-size private, Fortune 20, not-for-profit and large municipal governmental organizations, the majority of which has been spent at a management level. I have experience in audit, tax, and accounting from all sides of the table, which has been incredibly valuable when trying to bridge communication gaps between auditors, in-house accounting and/or tax. My ability to quickly understand and manage end-to-end processes, outside-the-box approaches, ability to close out tasks, trustworthiness and calm demeanor under deadline pressure make me a key resource of all groups within my organization.I am an avid runner, achieving top 10% finishes in the last six GATE national 15K championships. That drive to compete and win carries over to the way I conduct my business. I was the first CPA in my graduating class. I always do more than the minimum asked of me; I do nothing halfway.
