Accounting, Finance & HR Consultant | 20+ Years of Multi-Sector Experience

A seasoned professional with deep roots in financial services, I’ve served as Controller, Head of Finance, and Director of SEC Reporting. Within these fast-paced and regulated spaces, I’ve learned and executed on the strategies and best practices to drive financial and operational success.

I’m a solid leader, problem solver, and communicator who understands the value of partnership and collaboration to achieve great outcomes. I work closely with all levels of an organization and have held leadership positions on Operating and Executive Committees.

Additionally, my tenure in the non-profit space, as Treasurer & Controller for two non-profit organizations, is invaluable in deepening my understanding of diverse business structures and importance of stakeholder transparency.

As an active Certified Public Accountant in New York, I bring integrated support that bridges precise financial management with effective HR practices.
