What is your favorite hobby, pastime, or thing to do?
I love reading, especially romance novels, as well as spending time with my family and friends. I also love to travel, and any time spent at the beach is my favorite.
How many years of accounting experience do you have?
I have several years of accounting experience. I first interned with CFO ReStart while I was in college, where I built a strong foundation in accounting and gained exposure to a variety of industries. Since then, I have gained several years of experience in technology and government contracting, including working on projects supporting financial services and government organizations. This experience has given me a strong understanding of financial processes, reporting, and the unique needs of organizations operating in complex environments.
What industries do you serve at CFOR?
At CFOR, I work with clients across a variety of industries, including restaurants and bars, real estate, and childcare and educational service providers. I enjoy building relationships with business owners and helping them navigate financial challenges, improve their processes, and make informed financial decisions. Every business is different, and I enjoy finding accounting and CFO solutions that fit each client’s unique needs.
What would you want a new client to know about you when they join CFOR?
I want new clients to know that we truly care about their success. We take the time to understand each business, listen to their goals and challenges, and provide the accounting, financial guidance, and support they need to succeed. Our goal is to be more than just your accounting team—we want to serve as a trusted advisor and partner, providing the guidance and support you need as your business grows.
What would you want a new staff member to know about our company and our team when they join CFOR?
You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of your clients and grow professionally while knowing you have a team behind you that’s invested in your success. There is a great balance of independence and collaboration, giving you the opportunity to build strong client relationships, continue learning, and provide high-quality accounting and CFO services to our clients.
