Much of my recent experience has been in accounting and financial management. I worked since 2014 with QuickBooks online and would welcome any opportunity to modernize your company’s accounting and the budget. I am a highly organized individual and a very practical thinker who can work in a highly methodical manner or ideate to find nontraditional solutions and I can match those skill sets appropriately to the task at hand. I have a somewhat untraditional background, having been educated both in Europe and the United States, however, I believe that this upbringing allows for value-added advantages in the workplace. I speak five languages and am presently refreshing my Italian. In addition, having worked and flourished in multiple cultures has taught me how to build strong relationships with diverse personalities both within and outside of an organization.

I grew up in a family-owned Real Estate investment business. At a young age, I was taught business bookkeeping and was involved in bookkeeping and its related attention to detail for as long as I can remember. I carried that attention to detail with me into the US Navy, Where I was responsible for recording inventory, purchase, maintenance and disposition of over 10 billion dollars of classified assets. This transitions perfectly into my current bookkeeping role and today, I bring that attention to detail and commitment to you. In addition to this business, I also own and do all the bookkeeping for a Handyman business. I am in the unique position of being a small business owner, which allows me to be able to experience first hand exactly what you are experiencing. Because of this experience, I am proficient in Home Services and Real estate investor bookkeeping. I am a certified QuickBooks Online Pro Advisor and work with Real Estate Investors and Home Service providers such as Handymen, Electricians, plumbers, carpenters and more. I am passionate about what I do because I know that I am assisting in the most important area of a business. If a business owner doesn’t have a crystal-clear picture of their financial position, then they can never achieve lasting success and growth. Tell me if this sounds familiar: ~ You've invested a substantial amount of money into your business, but you're not seeing the return on that investment as quickly as you'd like. ~ You're wearing too many hats and don't have time to focus on what you do best or love doing the most. ~ You're overworked, spread far too thin just keeping up with the day-to-day operations, and don't have time to deal with all the financial aspects of your business. ~ You're unsure of how much to pay yourself, and your quarterly tax installments are a constant source of confusion that risks becoming a nasty surprise come tax time. This is where I come in. I love the feeling I get after I take on a new client, clean up their books, present them with their reports and see the relief and excitement on their faces. I get to listen as they tell me how excited they are now that they are able to take this information and plan for the future of their business instead of just trying to survive day by day. If you’re a home services provider or a Real Estate Investor and would like some help crunching the numbers, so you can focus on growing your business, I would be happy to have a conversation with you.
