My specialty
I have 20+ years of experience in audit, reviews and compilations, financial reporting and analysis, US GAAP, internal controls and technical accounting. I lead Aprio audit teams and provide technical review and guidance on all client deliverables. My oversight delivers practical solutions that ensure our clients’ accounting systems are operating effectively. A good portion of my days are spent researching accounting trends, conducting proactive engagement and staff planning, and educating clients and prospects. I respond quickly to questions like:
- How can Aprio complete my engagement within compressed timelines?
- What is Aprio’s relevant accounting and assurance work experience in my industry?
- What are Aprio’s professional fees for engagements?
- Can you help me optimize my processes and analysis capabilities to lower costs?
Unique things about me
I thoroughly enjoy sharing my accounting expertise to mentor and develop Aprio team members and educate clients.
At the close of engagements, I always advise clients on opportunities to drive future cost savings through optimization of internal processes and data analysis.
I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting from Hunter College (CUNY)
