Recent Career Highlights:
At KCK CPA, I’ve helped clients secure over $1 million in financial value through strategic partnership structuring and negotiation support. My work has gone beyond the numbers — like helping one client eliminate long-standing credit card debt and build a sustainable financial foundation. This year, I also launched Hollywood Accounting, a podcast diving into the business behind entertainment, where I break down money myths, creative finance moves, and industry insights. Internally, I’ve led high-touch advisory efforts that align with our firm’s mission to deliver real results, not just reports.
Outreach Beyond the Firm:
I lead the charge on CPAcon, a conference reimagining how we recruit and retain talent in the accounting profession. It’s designed to tackle the talent pipeline challenge by making the field more engaging, inclusive, and future-focused. We infuse gamification, creativity, and fun into the experience — because retaining great people starts with making the profession more human and less rigid. Through community-building, mentorship, and fresh programming, CPAcon aims to inspire the next generation of CPAs while giving seasoned professionals a reason to feel excited again.
Favorite podcasts/books/blogs/websites/magazines for professional development:
Hollywood Accounting (shameless plug), Accounting Today, Big 4 Transparency, Accounting High, Earmark, Rise & Stride
