I deliver improved financial management with a strategic perspective, tighter reporting & analysis for decision making, and the ability to collaborate at a high level with sales, marketing, HR and operations.Both a specialist and generalist, my responsible areas have included finance, strategic planning, accounting and reporting, budget and analysis, fundraising, human resources, technology, operations & facilities, tax & compliance, and more. I am as comfortable working hands-on, with several functional responsibilities, as I am building and leading competent, high functioning teams. What needs to be accomplished?My twenty-five year journey in the professional world includes graduation from a national Top-3 accounting program, CPA certification and audit experience with Big-4 firm KPMG, self employment success as a CPA Consultant, and corporate finance positions raising tens of millions of venture capital financing, and teaming with others to grow sales and profits. My LinkedIn profile cannot list all of the businesses with which I have had the pleasure to associate.I believe the best outcomes in business and life begin with Trust and Truth, the application of deep respect for individuals, establishing and monitoring specific goals and rewards, and then relentless excellent, thoughtful effort delivering the desired results. Results matter, and “Teams Work” is a personal ideal I learned while employed at Intuit. Specialties: Financial reporting, planning & analysis, strategic collaboration, budgets, process improvement (internal controls, cash flow, collections...), sales compensation plans, Cloud app selection and implementation, employee benefit plans, and charge of insurance, legal and operations vendors.
