My Story

I began my accounting career as a bookkeeper while earning my degree in Accountancy at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Over 24 years, I advanced through roles as a Senior Accountant and Controller, gaining expertise in financial reporting, tax compliance, investment accounting, and leadership at private equity-backed companies.

In 2024, I launched my own practice to provide personalized accounting services to small businesses and individuals. My core values—transparency, integrity, and honesty—drive my work, helping clients achieve financial clarity and success.

Living in North Raleigh with my husband, two sons, and our two dogs, I value the flexibility of running my own business, which allows me to balance family and professional life while serving my community with passion and care.
