    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: "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler" “I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead” 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.
