Since 2008, I have provided tax compliance and consulting services to corporate, partnership, not-for-profit, trust, and high net worth individual clients. Overtime, my interest in working with companies involved in the healthcare industry lead me to establish a significant base of such clients. Given my depth of experience in the healthcare arena, I am able to offer not just traditional tax compliance but also services such as compensation modeling, operational consulting, among others.
Within the firm, I have served on a number of internal committees and task force groups and currently chair our Tax Procedures Committee.
In 2014, I was selected by our ownership group to attend RSM’s Breakthrough Leaders Institute. I was further honored this year to receive the blessing of the group to enroll in a partner development program beginning January of 2018.
Within the profession, I have served as a member of the FICPA’s Healthcare Industry Conference Committee and have presented at the FSU Accounting Conference.
Within the Tallahassee community, I serve as Board Treasurer and as a member of the Executive Committee for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Big Bend. I am also a current participant in Leadership Tallahassee, a program that not only equips and inspires leaders in our community, but also requires each class to perform a major service project.
