Experience and passion focused on serving small businesses
My experience includes helping organizations manage over $100M in annual expenses by leveraging customized reporting to assess the financial health of the firm, partnering with different departments, including accounting and tax, and providing essential decision support and financial impact of large scale, enterprise-wide purchases.
I have also dedicated a considerable amount of time to assisting small businesses with creating a budget, improving processes, reducing expenses, increasing or introducing new income channels, and ultimately, fostering a greater accountability and finance focus.
I, typically have a book of business that includes oversight of tens of thousands of monthly transactions and between 40-50 entities. ​
​
While I enjoy helping large organizations navigate their financial challenges, my passion really lies in helping small businesses.

​
I know that running small business can be challenging, often requiring you to juggle multiple roles. I understand the struggles and am passionate about alleviating some of that burden while delivering real value. With extensive experience in budgeting and analyzing spending, I use numbers to tell a story that drives informed decision-making and fosters long-term success for your business.
​
I am thrilled to transition from corporate finance and take my knowledge, experience, and education to small businesses.
I am looking forward to what we can achieve together! Let's get to work!
