For nearly thirty years I have been serving satisfied clients in the Portland Metro area. As your contract bookkeeper and systems adviser, I am able to share that wealth of knowledge with you. People are always amazed by the resources I am able to offer not only in the financial realm but in many other situations too. I have an extraordinary background that sets me apart from most other practitioners.
Everyone's needs can be a little different and I am able to offer assistance based on your specific criteria. I work on and off site as well as telecommute. I've work in small organizations where I am the only person in charge of the financial records and I've worked as a corporate controller, interacting with other team members and departments. I've even setup and trained personnel long distance.
Whether you are just looking for someone to help out a bit or you need an expert opinion and review, I'm here to help you. My ideal client is the one that asks the hard questions. They genuinely want and need to know how their company is performing and how they may be able to make it better. I enjoy helping businesses do what they do best, better.
Your success is my passionate pursuit.

Freelance poet, soon to be author.
I transfer thoughts within my head
As script on paper in penciled lead
And scribe the inklings of my heart
Which thus become the poet's art
