Personal introduction:
I am thrilled to have served great clients in all 50 states and DC over a span of more than three decades as an independent accountant, controller, board member, coach and adviser. I’ve helped operate a wide range of businesses in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware ranging from an accounting and financial services firm to an organic farm, from a nonprofit community development group, a marina and seafood company, to an early internet technology company. Working through the startup struggles and seeing so many self-employed and small business clients eventually succeed is a fantastic reward.
Prior work through Freedom Benefits and OnlineAdviser consumer support services, I communicated with more than 50,000 users, mostly self-employed, by telephone and email in the 1990s. That work even led to an invitation by former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich to testify before Congress on consumer health care needs. In the early 2000s I produced a series of training recordings sold on CD (this was before podcasts) by Rockhurst University.
Now I’m focused on helping small Delaware Valley regional firms to incorporate technologies that allow more efficient workflows, maintain compliance and help us keep more of what we earn. If you would like to have a conversation about your situation or learn more about mine, I welcome a call at (856) 265-0306.
