For over twenty years I've helped the most demanding Upwork clients turn their brilliant ideas into best-selling books.

Be sure to ask me for your FREE initial consultation! For your novel, self-help book, memoir, business book, or business plan, here are just a few of the ways I can help you reach your goal.... NONFICTION BUSINESS BOOKS I'm a leading business ghostwriter with clients ranging from young entrepreneurs to CEOs of global Fortune 500 enterprises. I hold an MBA and can offer over a decade of experience writing and editing best-selling books, ebooks, and case studies. I routinely work with literary agents and editors at major publishing houses to develop my clients' books and get them successfully launched.

Thomas went further than anyone else before the work was committed to in terms of giving me direction and showing me how he could help move me towards my goals for this project.

I am an active CPA with multiple skills including bank financing, financial statement analysis, personal and business tax returns, business planning, financial and estate planning, SBA Disaster Loan Assistance, and operational reviews. I am current with all tax laws and accounting principles. I work with clients to provide a range of financial tools that help them meet and exceed their monetary goals. My skills include strategic planning, bank financing, compliance, budgeting, and more. Even the most successful CEOs rely on a team of experts to achieve their business goals, as it is simply impossible for one person to do it all. With a background in business consulting and extensive CPA experience, I help individuals meet and exceed their financial objectives. Working with numbers has always come easily to me, as I not only passed the CPA exam on my first try, but I also obtained Masters' degrees in Accounting and Education. I have also taught postgraduate college courses and my deep understanding of finance has allowed me to become a qualified expert witness. I founded my own CPA firm and developed partnerships with a range of clients for over 20 years. I now work as a consultant and assist my clients with financial modeling, projections, and forecasts as well as tax planning and preparation. I specialize in startups and can help with the choice of entity selection, general business planning, and much more. Whether you are in need of an operational review, a financial statement analysis, or an expert to take your financial future to the next level, I am here to help. Clients who partner with me can count on exceptional communication and work completed in a timely and thorough manner.
