About
As an award-winning CPA, I specialize in consultation in all areas of finance and focusing on business startups. Offering a well-rounded consultation service that elevates action plans for every financial strategy.
My key ability is to guide and ensure that there is a clear direction and structure for a comprehensive path to success. My negotiation expertise is an integral asset that assures that my clients are reaping the ultimate benefits available to them.
I believe that finance is an evolution of circumstances and therefore I highly value my clients and my commitment to follow up once the initial mandate is completed.
If you were to describe my approach and strengths, my attributes are:
Authentic, dependable, trustworthy. resourceful, big picture thinker, and my main strength is my communication skills, strong work ethic, integrity, and ability to pivot when needed.
