I lead sales and use tax audits, multi-state compliance, and taxpayer guidance.

United States
Message

At the Florida Department of Revenue, I lead Sales & Use Tax audits, review complex financial records, and apply Florida statutes to audit findings. I also guide taxpayers and accounting professionals through complex taxability issues.

I've managed multi-state sales tax registrations, nexus determinations, account maintenance, and return filings for online retailers through Sales Tax and More. My work included processing monthly sales data, reconciling payments, and resolving client matters with state departments of revenue.

Across JDA TSG, Baker Tilly, and Jackson Hewitt, I've prepared federal, state, and local returns while identifying credits, deductions, and opportunities to reduce tax liabilities.

I've also trained and supervised teams, improved workflows, analyzed performance, and supported financial operations through audit, reporting, reconciliation, and compliance work.
