About Me

I was born into a family of bookkeepers and accountants.  I earned a BS in Computer Science from the University of Albany, but the family tradition of creating orderly procedures to make things easier for everyone has always been part of what I do.

Even while working in and out of the corporate world I was always drawn back to the numerical and organizational part of things – and my dad’s voice was in my head – the world will always need bookkeepers. Taking his advice, I started a bookkeeping business – but…

Not your dad’s bookkeeping

While the basics of bookkeeping haven’t changed that much over time, the methodology is constantly changing. I am always looking for new ways to make the data you get from your books not only as accurate as possible, but also immediately accessible and actionable. This is where I offer a unique outlook. My background, experience and knowledge enable me to interpret the “foreign language” of financials while taking advantage of newer technology and processes that will give you the best information.

I am constantly learning and staying current with trends and software in the bookkeeping community. I can be your financial guide to a smarter-run business. I look at where you have been and where you are now, and most important, where you want to go. I can take the information that comes through your business and turn it into something useful for you. 

I will go beyond business receipts to help you set up your records and processes in a systematic way that will allow everything to flow smoothly.

More importantly, I help my clients understand their businesses better. I remove the uncertainty and worry and instead provide you a clear understanding that gives you the confidence to make decisions which allow your business to thrive and grow.

When I’m not expressing my creativity by taking different, individualized approaches to helping my clients, I enjoy other creative interests like various crafts and cooking.

When I’m working, I am most often in my home office with my dog for company.

Certifications

Keeping up on the latest trends in bookkeeping and financial management is important. I achieve and maintain current certifications that will enable me to better serve my clients.
