I am an MBA, a financial strategist, and a seasoned entrepreneur who spent 17 years in the small business trenches.

I built a commercial sauerkraut and pickle manufacturing company from a kitchen table concept into an established brand. Over nearly two decades, I experienced the full reality of entrepreneurship—the growth, the operational bottlenecks, the cash flow struggles, and the heavy toll of running out of runway. That journey didn't end in a glossy corporate buyout, but it gave me a masterclass in the real-world financial and emotional challenges that small business owners face every day.

Today, I use that hard-earned experience to provide clear, actionable financial guidance for individuals and businesses. Whether you need a strategic partner to fix a bleeding budget, clean bookkeeping to see your true numbers, or a meticulous professional to handle your individual tax returns—I’ve got you covered. (And yes, I genuinely find the precision of tax preparation satisfying, so let me take that stress off your plate).

The Fermentation Bonus: While I serve clients across all industries, my roots are heavily in the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) realm. If you run a food brand or face commercial fermentation puzzles, I’m happy to consult there, too. I spent 17 years refining our manufacturing operations and would love to continue putting those hard-earned insights to good use.
