From Client Service to Financial Clarity — A Journey Rooted in Trust
A Career Built on Listening, Responsiveness, and Clear Communication
My entire career has been shaped by client service — beginning in the fast‑paced world of advertising, where listening, responsiveness, and clear communication weren’t optional. They were the job. Those early years taught me how to understand what people really need, even when they don’t have the words for it yet.
From Fortune 500 Projects to Practical Financial Insight
As my work evolved, I found myself increasingly drawn to the financial side of operations — budgets, reporting, fiscal accountability, and the quiet discipline behind good decision‑making. I wasn’t just managing projects anymore; I was helping teams and leaders make smarter choices with their numbers. That shift revealed something important: clarity is powerful, and most people don’t get enough of it.
Hands-On Experience with SWFL Small Business Finance
Most recently, I worked inside the SWFL home improvement industry, where I saw firsthand the realities of small business finance — the pressure, the uncertainty, the late nights spent trying to make sense of numbers that never quite added up. That’s where my passion for bookkeeping took root. Not as a technical task, but as a way to serve business owners who often feel overwhelmed, behind, or burned by past providers.
