Decades of Industry Experience
With more than four decades as a CPA, I’ve built a career helping firms elevate audit quality through consulting, peer review support, and training. I’ve always believed in delivering practical, ethical, and effective solutions to meet ever-changing professional standards—something I’ve upheld throughout my career as a CPA advisory leader.
I retired as a partner from Eide Bailly, LLP at the beginning of the pandemic, though I did not retire from the profession. Select clients followed me in retirement, including a number of CPA firms who are former peer review clients. I continue to provide services to these firms and other firms to improve their accounting and auditing practices.
