Why I Get It

I didn't start my career behind a desk—I started with a tool belt and a lot to learn.

I worked in electrical, painting, and drywall before eventually building my own painting and drywall company. I scaled it, managed crews, dealt with the chaos of job costing and cash flow, and learned the hard way that being good at the work doesn't automatically mean you're good at running the business. After growing and selling that company, I thought I had it figured out.

Then I moved into multifamily and spent years as a revenue manager for several companies. Different industry, same challenge: how do you actually make the numbers work? I optimized occupancy, managed operating budgets, analyzed what was really driving NOI, and worked to keep properties profitable and competitive. Turns out, whether you're running job sites or managing properties, the financial fundamentals are what separate businesses that thrive from ones that just survive. Finally realizing this gaping hole in my knowledge, I went back to school and got my Master’s in Accountancy.

Here's why that matters to you: I've been on your side of the table. If you're a contractor wondering whether that big bid is priced right, a small business owner trying to figure out if you can actually afford to hire, or a multifamily operator looking to squeeze more performance out of your properties—I get it. I've asked those same questions.

Most bookkeepers have never run a business, managed a crew, or had to make payroll when a client pays 60 days late. I have. And I think that makes all the difference.

I started this firm because small businesses and real operators deserve better than cookie-cutter bookkeeping. You deserve someone who understands what you're actually dealing with and can help you make smart decisions, not just reconcile your bank account.

If you're tired of flying blind with your finances and you want someone in your corner who's actually been there, let's talk.
