Who is actually looking at your numbers — and what are they missing?
Most accountants file returns. I help business owners and individuals understand the story their finances are telling — and make sure it's the right one. Clear, precise, and entirely on your side.
What I do
Services built around your situation, not a template.
Tax Planning & Preparation
Strategic tax planning that looks ahead — not just backward. Whether you're an individual or a business, I help you keep more of what you earn through proactive, year-round strategy.
Financial Statement Prep
Clean, accurate financial statements that lenders, investors, and stakeholders can trust. Prepared with the rigor and clarity that decisions depend on.
Business Accounting
From bookkeeping to full-cycle accounting, I set up systems that give you real visibility into your business — so you're never guessing at month-end.
IRS & State Representation
Audits, notices, or disputes — I handle the communication so you don't have to. Experienced in navigating IRS and Tennessee state proceedings on your behalf.
Advisory & Consulting
Beyond the numbers — I help you make decisions. From entity selection to cash flow forecasting, I provide the financial perspective your business needs to grow with confidence.
Payroll & Compliance
Stay compliant and stay focused on your business. I manage payroll processing, tax deposits, and all the regulatory details so nothing falls through the cracks.
About
A different kind of CPA relationship.
I started this practice with a simple belief: accounting shouldn't feel like a transaction. It should feel like a partnership.
Based in Memphis, I work with individuals and business owners who want more than a tax return filed and forgotten. You deserve someone who understands your specific situation — your industry, your goals, your timeline — and builds a financial strategy around it.
Every client gets direct access to me. No junior associates, no runaround. Just clear communication, thorough work, and a genuine interest in seeing you succeed.

My approach
Precision matters. So does clarity.
Listen first
Every financial situation is different. I start by understanding your goals, your concerns, and where you are right now — before I touch a single spreadsheet.
Plan with intention
Reactive accounting keeps you behind. Proactive planning puts you ahead. I build strategies that work through the entire year, not just at filing season.
Deliver with precision
Accuracy isn't optional — it's the baseline. Every return, every statement, every recommendation is thorough and error-free, so you can act with confidence.
Stay accessible
Questions don't wait for April. I make myself available throughout the year, because financial decisions rarely happen on a schedule.
