I’m a financial leader who thrives in fast-moving, mission-driven environments — especially where things are growing quickly and the numbers need to catch up. Over the past 12+ years, I’ve helped build and scale finance operations for both startups and large private companies. Most recently, as Director of Finance at Skin Clique, I helped scale accounting operations during a period of 300%+ revenue growth — reducing our month-end close from 20 to 5 days, building a high-performing team, and automating contractor payments for 800+ providers. Before that, I spent nearly a decade at Hendrick Automotive Group, where I led GAAP-compliant reporting, audits, and tax filings across multi-entity operations. I’ve worked with executive teams, cross-functional stakeholders, and external auditors to turn messy processes into transparent, efficient, and scalable systems. My superpower? Translating complexity into clarity — whether it’s a new commission structure, a tight timeline, or a growing team that needs direction. I bring not just financial rigor, but heart — I care deeply about doing meaningful work, building trust, and making finance a true partner in driving progress. If you’re building something bold and need a strong financial foundation to match, let’s connect.
