Experience

My background includes seven years with Deloitte in Audit & Assurance, along with management roles supporting the consulting practice. During that time, I managed executive workshops and strategic planning sessions for C-suite leaders and boards of directors, including Fortune 500 companies.

After relocating from Houston during COVID, I stepped into a very different environment, helping run my husband's construction business. That experience provided a firsthand understanding of the realities small businesses face every day, from operations and growth to the practical decisions that come with running an organization.

Not long after, I began consulting for a local CPA firm, giving me an opportunity to combine my experience in public accounting, organizational consulting, and small business operations. Today, my work includes advising both growing businesses and CPA firms, with a specialized focus on helping small and mid-sized CPA firms navigate quality management, organizational planning, and leadership decisions.

My approach

Every CPA firm is different. The approach should be too.

Rather than beginning with a predefined methodology or one-size-fits-all solution, I start by understanding your firm's priorities, concerns, goals, and the way you currently operate.

I've found the best decisions come from asking thoughtful questions, identifying risks and opportunities, and helping firm leadership work through important discussions together.

The goal is practical guidance that reflects your firm's culture, leadership, and long-term goals, not a Big 4 template or system.
