Profile
Background
For 20 years, I have been providing high quality, personalized financial guidance to individuals and small businesses in the greater Pittsburgh area. My expertise ranges from basic tax, management and accounting services to more in-depth services such as oil and gas accounting and business advisory services for the small privately held business.
I began my professional career as a CPA with Coopers & Lybrand (now PricewaterhouseCoopers) providing audit services to SEC companies such as ALCOA and, in the oil and gas sector, Quaker State and Allegheny Land and Mineral Company gaining valuable knowledge in SEC reporting and the extractive industries. While at C&L I became interested in working with smaller privately held companies and spent a lot of time providing services to clients in the Small Business practice area of the firm which included not only financial reporting but also tax services to the companies and their owners. I also worked extensively with start-up entities during that time. I now serve a number of small business clients in the construction, real estate, professional services and retail business communities. By combining my expertise and experience I can assure that every client receives the close analysis and attention they deserve. My dedication to high standards, personalized services, responsiveness and work ethic is the reason my clients return year after year.
Mission
My mission is to help clients maintain financial viability in the present, while taking a proactive approach to achieve future goals. This requires open communication to reach an understanding of the clients’ needs through research and sound analysis. I am dedicated to meeting these goals with high standards of excellence and professionalism. I have been helping individuals and the business community for years, and take pride in providing services that are needed, and only what is needed, at a reasonable price.
Whether you are a current or prospective client, rest assured that individuals and businesses who choose me as their Certified Public Accountant receive competent and timely advice.
