EXPERIENCE

The Gay CPA® is about giving my LGBTQ clients a safe choice when choosing their CPA. As a gay woman, myself, I know the accounting world can be conservative. The relationship one establishes with his/her CPA is personal. I offer a safe environment to all I server. My being The Gay CPA® is one way of giving back to my community.
I worked on many R&D tax credit studies for some of the major oil and gas companies as well as conducting R&D studies for the top four Fortune 500 oilfield services companies. I also spent two years in audit defense and participated in an IRS FastTrack proceeding.
I thought it would be more fulfilling to provide services to individuals and small businesses. Since starting her own practice, she has been rewarded many times over by the helping individual taxpayers and small business owners. She applies her Big 4 experience to each and every client.

I approach each client relationship as if I were business partners in their small business. I take the time to know and understand the business and individual financial issues so that I may deliver personalized service that is deserved and expected.
