My focus goes beyond compliance—I help clients understand where their money is going, why it matters, and what to do next. If your books are accurate but not useful, cash feels unpredictable, or reporting feels overwhelming, I can help bring clarity and control. What I Do • Cash flow forecasting (including 13-week models) • Budgeting and financial planning • Financial statement preparation & cleanup (P&L, Balance Sheet, Equity) • Nonprofit accounting and reporting • Fractional controller / finance manager support • Financial processes, dashboards, and AI-assisted workflows

I’m a Virginia-licensed CPA with 15+ years of accounting experience, specializing in real estate businesses and small companies that need clean, tax-ready financials—not just basic bookkeeping. In addition to my professional background, I’m an active real estate investor myself, with hands-on experience in fix-and-flip projects, buy-and-hold rentals, and short-term rentals (STRs). That practical perspective allows me to understand the real financial and tax issues investors face—not just the theory. I help clients with: • Bookkeeping & monthly close (QuickBooks Online) • Cleanup & catch-up work (messy, behind, or inaccurate books) • Real estate accounting (rentals, flips, STRs, entity-level tracking) • Controller / CFO-style advisory for growing businesses • Preparing books for CPAs and tax filing • Coordination with CPAs to ensure smooth, efficient tax filings I’ve worked with CPA firms and business owners who need someone that can work independently, ask the right questions, and deliver accurate financials with minimal hand-holding. Typical engagements are project-based or monthly retainers rather than hourly, allowing clients to control costs while getting CPA-level support. ******* Additional Services: Real Estate Investor Consulting ******* In addition to accounting and bookkeeping, I also provide startup and advisory consulting for real estate investors, especially those early in their investing journey who want to build the right financial foundation from day one. As both a CPA and active real estate investor (fix-and-flip, buy-and-hold, and short-term rentals), I help clients with: • Financial and accounting system setup for new investors • Entity structure education (from an accounting and tax perspective) • Deal analysis, cash flow modeling, and pro formas • Rehab cost tracking and flip profitability analysis • Rental and STR cash flow planning • Tax-aware decision-making and long-term planning considerations This consulting is advisory and educational in nature, designed to reduce costly mistakes, improve financial clarity, and support smarter decision-making as your portfolio grows. Many clients start with consulting and later transition into ongoing bookkeeping, tax preparation support, or advisory services as their business scales. If you’re looking for a long-term accounting partner who understands real estate and tax-readiness, let’s talk.

I work with small businesses mainly in the service sector and help them get their books in order offering cleanup work and then ongoing bookkeeping services. On average I free up on approx 10 hours per month for my clients allowing them to focus on their business and making strategic decisions to move their business forward. I’ve worked in accounting roles for the past 20 years, I’ve led accounting teams and mentored colleagues. I have high level experience of producing month end accounts that are accurate and on time. I am well versed in both Quickbooks and Xero, along with Sage products. My area of expertise is small businesses and cleanup or complex reconciliation work. I love accounting and the day-to-day work but I really thrive with more complex issues that small businesses face.
