I almost went to law school.
I didn't end up there, but I found my way into a law firm through operations, and something clicked. I wasn't just managing processes. I was helping build something that gave shape to what other people had spent years working toward. The firm was someone's legacy. The cases were someone's fight. That mattered to me, and it still does.
Thirty years later, I've held nearly every role on the operations and finance side of a professional services firm. I started as an office manager. I grew into a CFO. In between I sat in enough chairs to understand what each person on your team is dealing with, and what they can't see from where they're sitting.
I've navigated cash flow crises, restructured partner compensation, built financial infrastructure inside firms growing faster than their back office could keep up, and surfaced compliance exposure nobody had flagged. At different firms, at different stages. That range isn't something you get from a credential. You get it from the work.
I don't have CPA behind my name. What I have is thirty years of knowing how firms actually run.
Here's what I see repeatedly: accounting teams that are excellent at the day-to-day but have no one connecting the financial data to how the firm is actually growing, where it's exposed, or what partners need to be thinking about two years from now. I build that foundation. And I don't come in to replace your team. I come in to sit alongside them and help them see the bigger picture.
If that sounds like what's missing, I'd like to talk.
