How I help . . .

After many years of being a business owner, I grew to enjoy the accounting and tax side of the business so much that I decided to pursue a career in accounting. For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in personal finance and always knew that I wanted to work exclusively with individual 1040 clients.

During my time in public accounting, I have gotten to work with a wide variety of clients from high-net-worth individuals to the owners of small sole proprietorships. I love getting to know my clients, their small businesses and their plans for their future. I am fortunate to be allowed a window into their lives and help them work towards achieving their plans. Most individual clients find taxes a maze of confusion, so I am always pleased when I can make it a little less daunting for them.

Understanding that every client is an individual with different goals and being there to help them navigate the tax effects of life events we all face at some time.

Belly dancing has been a big part of my life for over ten years. I dance with a fantastic group, and we enjoy any opportunity we get to perform.
