Real estate and service-based businesses trust me to organize and maintain their QuickBooks and Xero accounts. From cleanups and catch-ups to monthly reconciliations, I keep your books accurate, organized, and tax-ready. I will never forget the day my favorite Thai restaurant closed for good. It was not just about the food; it was about comfort, connection, and the kind of community you cannot put a price on. Then it happened again. Two more local businesses gone. COVID did not just disrupt life; it took away dreams and the foundations that so many business owners had spent years building. We kept seeing the same heartbreaking pattern. Smart, talented business owners were falling behind on their finances. Not because they were not capable, but because they were juggling everything without a clear financial system to support them. That struggle inspired me to start my bookkeeping business with Profit First at the core.

Hi! With over 15 years of experience in real estate bookkeeping, accounting, tax, and investor services — and as a significant real estate investor myself — I bring a perspective to your books that goes far beyond the numbers. Prior to building my practice, I served as Director of Investments for a family office overseeing a $100MM real estate portfolio, giving me firsthand experience managing real estate at scale from the inside. Being active across all areas of real estate investment gives me the ability to interpret, anticipate, and stay proactive about not just what is happening in your portfolio, but what is coming. That kind of forward-looking insight is something most bookkeepers simply can't offer. My goal is to deliver best-in-class service as efficiently as possible while painting a clear, actionable picture of your real estate portfolio and business. To do that, I leverage a proprietary application I had built specifically for real estate — one that tracks debt and insurance, enables frictionless client communication, and offers unique value-adds you won't find with any other practitioner. I am also fluent in the full spectrum of third-party real estate accounting platforms, including AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi, QuickBooks, InvestNext, Juniper, multiple short-term rental management systems, and more — so wherever your data lives, I can work with it. I serve satisfied clients across all major asset classes, including hospitality, short-term rentals, multifamily (including large syndications), industrial, retail, office, and flips. Beyond investment properties, I also work with real estate service businesses — brokerage, property management, investor services (portals, capital accounts, and more), tax, and advisory. What truly sets my practice apart is being vertically integrated. I can handle your books in the most tax-efficient way possible (with a focus on optimizing capital assets), provide proactive advisory, maintain investor portals, and have our in-house CPA prepare tax returns and K-1s for you and any investors — all in a timely manner, so you can stay focused on growing your business. I've built my proprietary tools because I've lived the challenges from both the financial and operational sides of real estate. I know where the sticking points are, and I know how to get ahead of them. Above all, I'm here to build long-term relationships and help my clients grow. Let's grow together.

My commitment to precision allows me to consistently deliver high-quality work, meeting deadlines while maintaining data integrity.
