    I am a CPA with over eighteen years of experience in the accounting and taxation fields seeking a part-time position as a bookkeeper/accountant. My specialties include bookkeeping services, tax consulting, planning and compliance, and financial analysis for a variety of industries such as real estate, retail, wholesale, manufacturing and various service organizations. I have often been involved with clients who need help either setting up an accounting system or streamlining the system already in place. Issues I have dealt with include help with the chart of accounts, identifying possible issues with internal controls, reconciling books regularly to supporting documentation, managing fixed assets and depreciation, payroll issues, etc. In addition, I have extensive experience with income tax preparation and review, and tax planning. I have also represented several clients under audit before the IRS and Franchise Tax Board. I enjoy my work particularly because, even as there are challenges that come with it, there is the constant need to handle multiple things at a time and meet deadlines. This has translated into my every day activities making me more reliable in every task that I set for myself. I have a great concern for detail and when I commit to a project, I always deliver within the set time. I am now looking to work in an environment where I can continue to build on my skills.

    Here’s the situation… You need some sort of financial service done for your company: Modeling, startup consulting, pitch deck content creation, annual budgets, new acquisition due diligence, accounting system setup, etc. But, you don’t have the time/resources/expertise to make it happen. Luckily, instead of trying to complete those complex tasks in-house, you can hire a top rated freelancer (like me) to take care of them. Now, you might be asking, “why you?” Good question. The following is a quick description of me and my history. • Licensed CPA. • Fundraising expert. • Experienced with a variety of industries: SaaS, manufacturing, breweries, Amazon retailers, consumer goods, and more. • Focused, efficient, and reliable. • Over 150 successful collaborations on Upwork. • Hundreds of more jobs completed throughout my career. That’s all great, but there’s one thing that matters over all else. It’s the fact that working with me has an incredibly high ROI. For example, not long ago, I worked with an organization that needed a financial model done. They paid me about $2K for it. Now, that’s a lot of money, but what came next? This company ended up going to a slew of investor meetings, blowing their audiences away, and coming out with $2 million dollars in funding. Sure, they could have chosen a cheaper option, but why skimp on quality at the finish line? When you build something that you’re going to share with the world, it needs to be top of the line. That is precisely what I delivered to them, and what I provide for all of my clients. Ultimately, working with me is not cheap, but it’s 100% worth it. If you’re ready to get started, hit that little “Hire Now” button. If you’re not quite ready, send me a message, and we can discuss your goals at length. I look forward to working together!

Several clients have derived the greatest value from jointly analyzing their business, identifying easily achievable adjustments, key business drivers to track, and achieved efficient growth, even in difficult economic conditions, without the need for complex sales or marketing. On a team, effectively engaging all members, developing and mentoring, and encouraging effective communication contribute to bottom-line performance and employee engagement. I specialize in 3 areas: ▶ CLARITY, VISIBILITY and EFFICIENCY: I implement accounting and finance systems, or reengineer existing reports and statements, create metrics and charts to highlight and analyze performance, trends and strategies. Clarity of cash flows is an area I consider to be especially important. For a public manufacturer, I analyzed performance in detail (including product, customer, and department) and created tools for daily cash management to achieve a radical turnaround and profitable emergence from bankruptcy. For a power generation company and a public IT and SaaS company implementing new ERP systems and enhanced internal, external and board reporting highlighted performance, improved profitability over 200%, improved cash management, and created efficiency in the preparation and filing of reports. ▶ FUNDING, CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS and DUE DILIGENCE: I create business plans, financial models, investor information sheets and packages for raising debt, equity and grant funding, as well as for acquisition, restructure and disposal of entities and assets. When desired I accompany clients in meetings and manage data rooms for due diligence. For a construction company I closed two government grants and 7 debt instruments to fund capital projects. In aerospace I renegotiated, and later redeemed, all secured debt, raised new funding through unsecured lines of credit, two equity raises, two government grants and a large interest free loan. For an oilfield service group I negotiated and closed on the sale of a subsidiary, and in logistics merged entities. ▶ PROFITABILITY and RISK: I develop strategies for profitable business and for identification and management of risk. I drove growth and strategic realignment, added clients 2.5 times larger and doubled ongoing services in a financial service group. For a not-for-profit entity and a public company I introduced a risk assessment process reported to the boards of directors. For an international public group I development and implemented policies and procedures to ensure consistent standards, reporting and practices among subsidiaries (including bribery, corruption, privacy standards and international law). I renegotiated 26 insurance policies and created methodology to minimize risk and cost. I also have extensive experience in: ▶ Systems and processes ▶ People development ▶ Financial mentor and training ▶ Dashboards for strategic, board of directors, executive, operational or tactical purposes ▶ Strategic planning ▶ Development and implementation of financial policies and procedures ▶ Project tenders ▶ Project management My services include: • Interim, Virtual, or Part-Time CFO • Financial management • Cash Management • Management, Public and Board Reporting • Company Dashboard or KPI Creation and Enhancement • Financial Systems Assessment and Improvement • Forecasting, Budgeting and Business Planning • Financial Planning and Analysis • Investor and Funder Presentations • Process Design and Re-engineering • Turnarounds, Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestment support • Due Diligence • Corporate and Board Governance • Independent Director • Policies and Procedures • Risk Management and Business Continuity Planning • Fundraising Support • Pitch decks and raises • Business Proposal and Grant Writing • Contract Negotiations • Project Management • Accounting System Setup and Upgrades • Chart of Accounts Setup and Improvements My industry experience includes: ▶ Aerospace ▶ Computer software, hardware and SaaS ▶ Food manufacturing ▶ Health insurance and service ▶ International trade ▶ Manufacturing ▶ Medical services ▶ Not-for-profit ▶ Oil and gas ▶ Oilfield services ▶ Payroll and benefits service ▶ Power generation ▶ Professional services ▶ Transportation and logistics (intermodal) ▶ Utilities, and ▶ Many others.

How to Hire Top Certified Public Accountants
 




How to hire certified public accountants




Starting a new business, dealing with tricky tax laws, or looking for expert accounting advice? A certified public accountant (CPA) can help you prepare your taxes and represent you in front of the IRS in the event of an audit.


So how do you hire CPAs? What follows are some tips for finding top CPAs on Upwork.








How to shortlist CPA professionals




As you’re browsing available CPA consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the contractors you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:


    

  • Finance fit. You want a CPA who understands the intricacies of your financial needs.
    • 

  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., setting up the tax structure of a tech start-up).
    • 

  • Feedback Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular CPA.
    • 









How to write an effective CPA job post




With a clear picture of your ideal CPA in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.


An effective CPA job post should include:


    

  • Scope of work: From general accounting to IRS representation, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
    • 

  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
    • 

  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or finance laws, mention this here.
    • 

  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FAQ




What is a certified public accountant?




CPAs must develop an intricate understanding of tax law and accounting practices in order to pass the rigorous Uniform CPA Exam. CPAs must also routinely take professional education courses to maintain their licenses.


Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in CPA freelancers:


    

  • Accounting and finance
    • 

  • Tax preparation
    • 

  • Accounting software such as QuickBooks
    • 

  • Finance specializations (e.g., investment banking, acquisitions, mergers)
    • 









Why hire certified public accountants?




The trick to finding top CPAs is to identify your needs. Is this your first time preparing taxes for a new business and you want to make sure you do it right? Are you in the process of taking out a small-business loan and need the expert opinion of a CPA to determine if it fits your long-term business goals? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.








How much does it cost to hire a certified public accountant?




Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.


    

  • An experienced CPA may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
    • 

  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their CPA services more competitively.
    • 



Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
