Who I work with
I work with clients in a variety of industries who face dynamic growth and merger and acquisition (M&A) challenges. As Aprio’s Chief Risk Officer (CRO), I provide technical accounting, tax and risk management guidance to team members across the firm to support the achievement of Aprio’s business plans and growth objectives.
My specialty
I apply nearly four decades of public accounting experience to assist my clients and our firm to solve problems and manage risk. I consult on matters of professional activity, ethics, insurance, conflict of interest and independence. I also provide guidance on Aprio’s ongoing business combination transactions and integrations.
