Who I work with
As Aprio’s Assurance Practice Group Director, I work closely with a diverse group of clients across multiple industries, however my stated industry specialty is real estate. I serve as an advisor to privately-held organizations and work with business owners, shareholders, CFOs, CEOs and controllers. Our middle market clients are seeking Big Four expertise delivered with cost efficiency and close personal attention – and that is exactly what we deliver. Regardless of the role of my client or the scale of their business, I engage as a partner to provide the highest level of customer service.
My specialty
I have 20+ years of experience serving clients from startup to exit throughout the US and internationally. My specialties include accounting, financial reporting and internal controls and I have deep expertise in contract review and diligence for real estate business acquisitions.
I lead a team of motivated assurance professionals who find clients additional tax savings in over 50% of our audit engagements.
