My Story

25 years in the making

I started my accounting career in September 1999 — beginning at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), one of the Big Four global accounting firms, where I built a rigorous foundation in audit, assurance, and financial reporting.

From there, I went on to hold accounting and finance roles across a remarkable range of industries — from agribusiness and ocean shipping to orthopedic medical devices, logistics, and commercial landscaping. Each role deepened my understanding of how different businesses operate financially, and what separates companies that thrive from those that struggle.

"I kept seeing the same pattern: smart business owners making important decisions without the financial clarity they needed. I wanted to fix that."

In April 2021, I took the leap and founded ProPoint Solutions LLC — bringing that senior-level corporate experience directly to small and mid-size businesses on a fractional basis. Since then, I've partnered with SMBs across a range of industries, helping owners get clarity on their numbers and build the financial foundation they need to grow.

Based in Miami, FL, I serve clients nationwide. Whether you're outgrowing your bookkeeper or scaling fast and need real financial controls — I'm the partner who will give you an honest picture of your numbers and help you act on them.

How I Work

What you can expect from me

Radical transparency

I give you the real picture — no sugarcoating. You'll always know exactly where your business stands, even when it's uncomfortable.

Plain-language communication

I translate complex financials into clear, actionable insights. No jargon — just the information you need to make confident decisions.

Proactive, not reactive

I don't wait for you to ask. I flag issues early, surface opportunities, and keep you ahead of your finances — not scrambling behind them.

Results-oriented

My goal isn't just clean books — it's helping you grow. Every financial report, forecast, and recommendation is focused on moving your business forward.

Confidentiality you can count on

Your financial data is sensitive. I treat it with the utmost discretion and hold myself to the highest professional and ethical standards.

Always accessible

When you have a question, you get me — not an assistant. Responsive communication is part of the service, not an add-on.
