    US-based CPA with 9+ years of experience in accounting, finance, and strategic planning at EY (Ernst & Young), Charles Schwab, and several small businesses. My reputation is built on: • Simple, easy-to-understand reporting that management can intuitively peel back layer by layer • Plain, facts-based analysis that enables management to make easy decisions • Reliability and timeliness Accounting experience in the following industries: • Commercial real estate • E-commerce (including sales tax and inventory management) • Logistics Highly skilled in: • Investor reporting / GAAP FP&A (in dashboards, financial statements, or plain spreadsheets) • Project management • Bookkeeping – account reconciliation, cleanup, and maintenance • Big-picture thinking • Due diligence, discovery prep, and 409A valuations • Cloud accounting and automation • Data management and analysis • PowerPoint design and slide-based reporting • Payroll, accounts receivable, and accounts payable • Forecasts and budgeting • Advanced statistics, data science, and time series analysis Direct experience with the following software: • SAP • Oracle NetSuite • QuickBooks • Xero • Sage • Bill.com • PowerBI From my career start ten years ago as a senior auditor at EY in Denver, to my time reshoring the internal SOX control network at Charles Schwab, I have always had a passion for helping clients find answers and build reliable processes. Building on my dual majors in Finance and Accounting at UW-Madison (Go Badgers), I returned to Minnesota several years ago to purse my full-time MBA with a focus on long-term strategic planning. While in school, I worked in two small businesses, as a controller at a home remodeler and as a development analyst at a commercial real estate broker and gained an appreciation for the unique systems and processes required in real estate. Before going independent, I spent three years as a manager in strategic planning at CWT, a business travel management company with over 15,000 employees based in over 60 countries struggling to stay afloat during the pandemic. In that role, working directly with VP and C-suite level executives, I came into my own as a specialist in presenting complex financial data in a simple, intuitive manner for high-level executives and investors. Over the past year I have built upon that reputation to use my professional contacts to build a book of business providing ad-hoc bookkeeping, model-building, and ERP implementations, as well as performing part-time work as a controller for several small businesses. Two quotes I recall everyday in my work: “I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead” "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler" When I am not working, I enjoy camping, fishing, DIY projects, reading books, the crossword, skiing, building furniture, golfing, and long walks with my dog Frida.

    PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY I have been an attorney for well over 40 years. Most recently (2009-2018), I was Senior Vice President and General Counsel for Travel Leaders Group, LLC, the nation’s largest travel agent company, with sales of $24B and 45,000 travel agents. Travel Leaders has 3,000 employees and contractors, almost 200 branches and several thousand franchises and member agencies. My duties there included: • Oversight of global legal function, with operations in US, Canada, Mexico, UK, EU and Uruguay. • M&A, including all integration matters. • All substantive areas of law on a global scale - employment law and review of all major HR issues, risk management and insurance, IP and licensing, franchise law and franchise system maintenance, litigation supervision, leasing activities, data security and privacy issues, both national and international, corporate governance, and a wide range of transactional matters, including client facing contracting and supplier relations negotiations and contracting. Recent major projects include: • Year-long successful contract negotiation to partner with one of the world’s largest banks and credit card issuers to become their loyalty program travel fulfillment provider and to incent and engage our travel agents to act as a sales force to market their credit cards. In addition to the commercial terms, there were significant banking, data privacy and antitrust issues to overcome. • Combining three of the company’s franchise systems, and two distinct organizations, into one new, unified operating company and brand. Trademark, franchise and employment issues were of major importance, as well as preservation of supplier agreements. • Concluding and integrating eight new acquisitions in one year, in three countries, into Travel Leaders, without disrupting the value of the acquired companies. MY MISSION IS TO ENABLE YOU TO SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCT BUSINESS, NOT TO WIN LEGAL DEBATES.
