Formal Stuff:

I received my BS degree in Accounting from SUNY Albany. I started my career at David Berdon & Company, CPAs. I worked there for a few years until I became controller at a major clothing manufacturer. Ok, enough with that stuff… The turning point was when I took a leap of faith and started my own firm. My mission was to help small businesses and their owners with a much more personal approach. Something that I saw lacking throughout my early career, and something that fit my personality.

So, for many years I ran a full-service CPA firm. Soup to nuts. Big clients, small clients. I know all phases of how business run, from start to stop, the good, the bad the ugly. I’ve seen it all. Best of all, there’s nothing that can’t be fixed.

But I wanted to go deeper and have greater impact on my clients’ operations. So, I further refined my services to outsourced CFO and bookkeeping to help smart business owners in a scalable way. My clients leave this critical part of their business to me, which frees up time and creative energies to grow their businesses. I am their sounding board and advisor. It’s simple, good books produce lower taxes and cost efficiencies.

I use state of the art technologies and communication. I take great pride in my craft and I work with select business owners who “get it.”

I service a broad range of industries including: Service, retail, technology and SaaS.<.p>
