Welcome! If you're looking for some help to manage your business, take control of the paperwork, or simplify your day to day by handing someone else the mundane tasks, then I'm here to help you. Sometimes you're not quite ready to hire a full time employee to hand tasks over to and that's why you can hire myself for a full day of tasks, or you can hire me for 12, 24 or 36 hours a month on a retainer. Do you have a large project coming up that you just don't have enough time for? A 'V.A. for a day' can help with that. We'll set up a 45 minute call ahead of a full 8 hour day to go through action plans and tasks that need accomplishing. During that day we will be in contact as we go through the list of tasks and check if anything else pops up. I'm here to help you!

I have a passion for helping people succeed financially. I have been able to do that for several years as a tax professional, working with many individuals and small businesses to help them understand their taxes and make good decisions. I also have an interest in personal finance. If I can help someone succeed financially, that brings me joy and keeps me going. Over the past 9 years I have worked at two tax accounting firms, where I prepared tax returns for many individuals and a variety of small businesses. I took pride in helping my clients understand their taxes, because I think it is important for everyone to have at least a basic understanding of their taxes in order to make good decisions. I also met with business clients on a regular basis to review their financial statements, track key performance indicators, and provide advice. Another service that I provided was start-up business consulting to help new business owners make sure their businesses were set up and operating properly, teach them about the tax laws that would impact their business, and establish beneficial tax strategies. I also did monthly bookkeeping for clients (mostly in QuickBooks Online), and I spent some time processing payroll. I have experience providing a variety of accounting services to small businesses, especially tax preparation and advisory services. I also have a passion for personal finance. When helping individuals with their taxes, I noticed that people often need help with more than just their tax returns. They need help with their personal finances and budgeting. This is not an area where I had an opportunity to help clients at the accounting firms where I have worked, but I have listened to a lot of Dave Ramsey and have a solid base of knowledge. I would love to help people get their personal finances under control, get out of debt, and have a better relationship with money and their budget. I am licensed as an Enrolled Agent by the IRS and a Certified Management Accountant by the Institute of Management Accountants. I am looking for opportunities to help people and small businesses succeed. I have knowledge and experience in accounting and taxes, and I would love to put that to use to help you reach your goals!
