With more than two decades of experience as a CPA and fractional CFO, I’ve worked with companies across multiple industries to build scalable systems, raise capital, and make data-driven decisions that support sustainable growth. I’m passionate about helping founders see beyond the numbers—turning financial insight into strategy, and strategy into results. On podcasts, I enjoy discussing topics such as modern financial leadership, how technology is transforming accounting, the rise of fractional CFO services, and how small to mid-sized businesses can use financial planning to unlock new opportunities. My goal is to make finance accessible and empowering for business owners everywhere, and to show how the right financial partner can help any company lead with clarity.
