AI helps. I decide.
My story
AI speeds up the repetitive work, like sorting transactions and flagging likely duplicates. It doesn't run your books. I review every entry myself, and nothing is final, reported, or sent to your CPA until I've checked it.
I've spent my career running the books for companies from growing small businesses to $20 million manufacturers. At Stone Masters, I took the month-end close from three months to four business days. At a consumer products company, I cut $5.4 million in unapplied cash to $300,000 in two months. Today I'm based in Clearfield, Utah, and work remotely with small businesses across the US that need a real accountant, but not a full-time one.
