ABOUT ME
I am a Certified Public Accountant licensed in New York State and have been in public accounting for nearly 25 years. My experience is diversified in many facets of accounting including outsourced Chief Financial Officer and Controllership services for small and mid-sized businesses and organizations. In that capacity, I have assisted business owners with maintaining accounting records that are accurate and current which gives them the best possible financial information that they need to manage their business in a profitable and cost effective manner. I have also provided tax preparation and planning for individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations and financial statement preparation, including audits, reviews and compilations.
I graduated from St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue, New York with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Accounting in 1993 and became licensed as a Certified Public Accountant in New York State in 1999.
The one thing I am most proud of in my years of services is the professional relationships I have developed with my clients, including listening to them and being responsive to their needs in a prompt and personable manner.
I have lived in Huntington Station, New York since 2006. When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my wife and our twin daughters.
