Closely held companies demand extensive experience in dealing with audits and tax planning. I bring several decades of public accounting knowledge to the table for that purpose. But our clients at the executive level also need a true consultant for the financial issues they're facing, whether it's a compensation arrangement for a new hire or for future or longer-term considerations such as retirement and estate planning. 

Prior to beginning my career in the small business and tax divisions of a large public accounting firm, I proudly served for four years in the United States Air Force as a Weather Technician. I also taught various tax courses at Oakton Community College and DePaul University in the Master's in Taxation program.
