Hey, I'm Andrew. I help freelancers, creatives, and small business owners get clean financial statements they can rely on. That means fixing QuickBooks, cleaning up past activity, and preparing books for tax filing, lenders, or CPAs. I've worked in business management for entertainment clients and high earners, so I handle everything from messy spreadsheets to multi-entity setups. If you're behind, confused, or tired of stressing every quarter, I can help. What I do: QuickBooks cleanup and setup 1099, Schedule C, and S Corp tax prep Tax projections and estimated payment planning Amended returns, even the scary ones LLC vs. S Corp breakdowns and setup Clear communication, fast turnaround, no judgment If you want to get organized and feel less anxious about money, let's connect.

I build financial systems that protect profitability through proactive strategy and disciplined execution. My background in a billion-dollar real estate asset management company taught me that true financial leadership is rooted in integrity and foresight. I focus on creating structures that minimize tax exposure, strengthen compliance, and drive long-term efficiency. Every decision is guided by clarity, ethics, and a deep understanding of how strategic accounting translates into sustainable growth.
