For more than 33 years, I have worked in accounting, financial management, business strategy, and organizational leadership. During that time, I have helped business owners solve complex financial problems, improve profitability, identify growth opportunities, and build stronger businesses.
My approach combines technical expertise with practical business experience.

That's the work I enjoy most.
