I have a proven track record of managing comprehensive financial operations for organizations generating up to $422.7M in revenue. My expertise lies in implementing robust financial controls, leading cross-functional teams, and driving process improvements that enhance operational efficiency and ensure regulatory compliance.

As the Founder and Accounting Consultant at Total Accounting Solutions, I built a successful financial services practice serving over 200 business clients. I implemented comprehensive QuickBooks Online systems, improving financial data accuracy and enabling real-time reporting capabilities. My commitment to delivering exceptional service has resulted in a 95%+ client retention rate, and I take pride in providing strategic financial guidance that supports growth initiatives and improves profitability for my clients.

With an MBA and a deep technical expertise in accounting and taxation, I am dedicated to optimizing resource allocation and supporting executive decision-making through insightful financial analysis.
