I develop sophisticated accounting solutions for clients seeking to streamline their financial processes. I emphasize bringing to emerging and mid-size market players the financial knowledge, skills and perspectives gained over a 35+ year career serving clients ranging from sole proprietors through Fortune 500 corporations. Particularly in regards to reporting obligations of pre-revenue startups, I explain how and why the wealth of misinformation found on the Internet serves to distort the accurate reporting required of these entities once they do launch. I have achieved a strong following (based principally on client referrals) in the provision of accounting and financial management advice and support to foreign nationals from dozens of countries who have or are considering entry into the U.S. marketplace.

Thank you for checking out my profile. Below you’ll find explanations of the most common questions I get RE: the process/service delivery/and beyond. I hope it’s helpful! *WHAT HAPPENS HERE* You need an accountant, so here you are on Upwork. You’re probably a bit overwhelmed with the amount of service providers and their various offerings. At a high-level, I offer accounting management. This means that I essentially become your company’s accounting department. The ultimate outcome of this, to you, is a quality accounting system that will keep you in compliance and *inform* you about your business’ operations. “Know Your Numbers” may be a cheesy cliche, but it’s actually an extremely important concept. I work with you on this via periodic financial statements, and regular discussions. You will know your business! The other important outcome of investing in a quality accounting system is the value that’s added to the entity *as a whole* by having one. Do you need financing? Do you want to explore selling your company, and/or bringing in a new partner or investor? Without a quality accounting system…those things just can’t, and wont, happen. *LIKE WHAT YOU SEE/READ?* If you’ve made it this far, maybe you like what you see/read (thank you) and would be interested in connecting via a video call interview. That would be the next step. But first - let me go over the profile of what has historically been the “ideal” company to work with. You are probably micro-to-medium sized, with annual revenues being below $3M. You want someone to claim ownership of the accounting function of your business - which could include payroll, bill pay, collections, invoicing, and even taxes. You want to find someone that you enjoy working with, and are hoping to develop a long-term relationship with a service provider that you can grow with, who becomes an extended (but important) part of your team. *SHALL WE TALK?* If you’re interested in connecting, please feel free to do so. If we “vibe” on the call, we can begin working together. But the vibe is actually really important. Most of the companies that I work with now, are those that I’ve been working with for years. We work well together, and that working relationship often extends to a friendship. And that’s just the best. *WHO AM I* Quickbooks ProAdvisor, H.B.Comm Accounting, CPA, CMA & EA candidate working exclusively with micro-to-medium entrepreneurs now for the majority of my professional life. Upwork has been great to me. I’ve been a top-rated accounting service provider here now for over a decade. I know how this all works, and you’re in good, experienced hands. And how I got started on Upwork is also a pretty good story, which I can tell when we meet. Thank you again for checking out my profile 😁
