About me

Since 2018, I've worked in audit and compliance roles at Fortune 500 companies, focused on financial reporting regulatory requirements (Sarbanes-Oxley). That work taught me the value of clear, accurate financial information for businesses of any size.

Since 2024, I've worked with small businesses like climbing gyms and trading card game shops, so their owners can put their energy into running the business and rest easy knowing their books and tax filings are in good hands.

Outside of work, I'm a part-time student in Georgia Tech's M.S. in Analytics program, an avid boulderer and an arts enthusiast, and I love building connections and learning about new industries.

FAQ
Do you file federal income taxes?

Not myself. I handle the bookkeeping and state filings, and the licensed CPA I work with prepares your federal return at a preferred rate. I'm also happy to work alongside the CPA you already have.

Which software do you use?

Mostly QuickBooks Online, plus Shopify, Square and Stripe for sales and payments, and Gusto or your current platform for payroll. Already using other tools? I'm happy to work in what you have.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. Everything can be done online, so I can work with businesses wherever they are.

How do you keep my financial data safe?

Access and controls are what I audit for Fortune 500 companies, so I hold my own work to the same standard. I use my own login to your accounts instead of shared passwords, turn on multi-factor authentication, ask only for the access I need, and make sure it's removed when we stop working together.

How far behind can my books be?

However far. Catch-up work is quoted up front after a free review of your records.

Are you a CPA?

I'm a bookkeeper, and I work with a licensed CPA. When you need tax planning or advice, you get qualified guidance without having to find a CPA yourself.
