I started my experience in the industry with a Bachelors of Science in Accounting from Illinois State University. After beginning my career in the accounting field and receiving my CPA, I served as a manager of budgets, distribution and manufacturing as well as senior financial analyst while pursing and graduating with a Masters of Science in Taxation from Northern Illinois University. Over the course of my career in different fields, I found my calling in owning and operating my own firm. This offered me the opportunity to solve new and ever changing issues that arise with each re-evaluation of tax codes in order to best serve my clients with individualized tax strategies and business planning since 2000.
