History

Established in 2014.

I am a graduate of Southern Connecticut State University holding a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a focus in Accounting.

After graduation I accepted an offer with a public accounting firm as a staff accountant/​auditor. During my time in public accounting I worked on a variety of clients – nonprofit, manufacturing, health care, utility companies, and several others. In addition to audit work I was also involved in accounting assistance, payroll, and tax engagements. In the three total tax seasons I worked (consisting of my internship and two tax seasons as a staff), I have gained experience in individual and business taxes of varying degrees of complexity.

I sat for and passed all four sections of the CPA exam in six months and have completed the necessary education and experience requirements. As of June 2013, I am now a Certified Public Accountant.
