I work with both public and private clients, guiding them through things like complex acquisitions, divestitures, spins, splits, carveouts, reverse mergers, SPAC mergers, IPOs, stock repricing and modifications, goodwill/intangibles and long-lived asset impairment, segment reporting, correction of errors, debt and equity issuances, lease accounting, consolidations and variable interest entities…the list goes on. No matter what unique transaction my clients come to me with, odds are, I have seen it and can seamlessly help them simplify and resolve even the most intricate accounting issues.
As a technical artist, I have honed my craft in US GAAP. This is not a common designation, as most subject matter experts are limited to a specific subsection/topic of the principle—and my skillset encapsulates the entire US GAAP codification. My background makes me one of the foremost accounting technicians in the country, and I use my robust and diverse knowledge to help my clients navigate and resolve large, infrequent, challenging, and complex transactions with collaboration and innovation.
Beginning my career in 2000, I worked at PwC, Hyatt Hotels (as an internal auditor), several boutique consulting firms, Crowe Horwath and Grant Thorton. In this modern world of technology, everyone has access to the same technical guides and data sources, and that is why I call technical accounting an art. In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see,” and while everyone looks at the same technical guides, tools, and resources, not everyone comes to the same conclusion. And that is why, when the stakes are high and there is no room for error, having a technical artist on your side makes all the difference.
