How I can help
My professional background
I retired in 2008 as a tax partner with Ernst & Young, one of the "Big 4" international accounting firms. My technical expertise was in the field of corporate taxation and accounting, especially for high tech companies (I worked in Silicon Valley for most of my careeer. Some of my clients included Apple, eBay, Netflix, Genentech, etc.). I held various leadership positions with EY, serving during my last several years as the person in charge of approximately 200 federal tax professionals in the Western Region. I was resposnsible for recruiting, training, deployment, employee reviews, client allocations, etc. The thing I enjoyed most about my career at EY was helping people succeed - both my clients and our people.
How to work with me
What I can offer
I have strong analytical skills, plus my technical background in accounting and tax. But I also have a strong business management background, and believe I can help entrepreneurs with broad issues regarding building and growing a business. Through MicroMentor, I have helped several entrepreneurs put together budgets, forecasts, P&L reporting, financial statements, tax projections, and business plans.
