Hire the Best Bookkeepers in Gilbert, AZ

Thank you for considering me for your next project or long-term partnership. Over the last 7+ years on Upwork, I have worked with business owners across a wide range of industries helping them build stronger financial systems, clean up messy books, improve reporting accuracy, and most importantly — better understand the financial side of their business so they can make confident decisions. While many professionals on this platform focus strictly on bookkeeping or accounting, I bring a very different perspective. I combine over 20 years of corporate leadership experience, including 18 years as a Senior Manager with a Fortune 500 company, with 7 years of hands-on experience building and operating my own small businesses. That combination gives me something most traditional accountants and fractional CFOs simply do not have: A real-world operator’s perspective. I understand what it actually feels like to run a business, manage cash flow, make payroll, scale operations, manage teams, navigate uncertainty, and make difficult decisions while balancing growth and profitability. I know what keeps business owners up at night because I live it myself. I am not your traditional accountant who simply categorizes transactions and sends reports at month-end. I work alongside business owners as a financial partner focused on helping answer questions like: • Where is cash leaking in my business? • Can I afford to hire another employee? • Why is revenue growing but cash flow still tight? • What are my margins actually telling me? • How do I build better financial systems to scale? • What decisions should I be making based on my numbers? My background started with earning my Accounting degree from Elon University, followed by over a decade specializing in bookkeeping and financial management while becoming a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor. Over the years I have developed deep expertise supporting: • Service-Based Businesses • Digital Marketing Agencies • E-Commerce Businesses • Nonprofits • Growing Small Businesses Preparing To Scale I provide both traditional bookkeeping support as well as Fractional CFO and financial advisory services designed to help owners move beyond simply “keeping the books” and start using their financials to make better strategic decisions. Services I provide include: • Fractional CFO Services • Cash Flow Forecasting & Management • Financial Strategy & Growth Planning • Profitability Analysis • KPI Development & Business Performance Reporting • Budget Creation & Financial Planning • Financial Process Improvement & Operational Analysis • QuickBooks Online Setup & Optimization • Monthly Bookkeeping & Account Reconciliation • Accounts Receivable & Accounts Payable Management • Payroll Solutions • Historical Cleanup & Catch-Up Bookkeeping • Transaction Categorization & Chart of Accounts Design • Monthly Financial Reporting (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement) I pride myself on being highly responsive, proactive in communication, and genuinely invested in helping business owners build stronger companies. At the end of the day, clean books are important. But understanding what your numbers are telling you is what truly drives growth. I look forward to learning more about your business and discussing how I can help support your goals.!

You need books you can trust, a close that happens on time, and an accounting partner who brings problems to you already solved — not as open questions. That's exactly how I work. I'm a Controller-level accountant with 12+ years owning full-cycle accounting operations for US-based businesses ranging from $5M to $95M in annual revenue. I specialize in multi-entity environments, complex revenue recognition, QBO, and AI-powered accounting implementation — and I operate with the independence and judgment that lean finance teams require. What I bring to every engagement: • Full-cycle accounting ownership under US GAAP — accurate, complete, and audit-ready • Month-end close executed on schedule, independently, without escalation • ASC 606 revenue recognition for SaaS, contract, and project-based businesses • Job costing and show/production settlement reconciliation • Multi-entity accounting, intercompany transactions, and consolidations • Advanced QuickBooks Online — job costing, class & location tracking, custom reporting, close workflows • AI implementation for accounting functions — automating workflows, reducing manual close tasks, and improving reporting speed and accuracy • ERP implementations and migrations (NetSuite, QBO, Sage) • Team leadership and standard-setting for accounting staff and coordinators At Cerberean Group, I led accounting operations across entities generating $85M–$95M in annual revenue, managed a team of 6–9 accounting professionals, reduced the month-end close cycle by 20%, and improved financial reporting accuracy by 30%. Before that, I spent nearly a decade providing Controller-level services to clients across SaaS, retail, construction, and services — and I've consistently brought AI and automation tools into accounting operations to help teams do more with less. I'm based in Gilbert, AZ (US Eastern Time availability), on the CPA track, and fluent in the systems, standards, and communication style US-based leadership teams rely on. If you need someone who owns the function — and modernizes it — let's talk.
