Resumes are boring. Here’s the scoop.
I am a Certified Public Accountant with 30 years of experience with small businesses. I started my first business when I was 11 with my sisters– a concession stand at the local pool. I cried when I got overwhelmed at lunch rush. However, it was financially lucrative for an 11-year-old and I learned to make sloppy joes.
I also started and ran an internet retail company for 10 years called jcaroline creative! selling and producing fabrics, ribbons, and creative supplies.
And all the in-between years I spent as the controller for small businesses or as an adviser to small businesses. You name a problem, I’ve probably seen it. And fixed most of them. I earned a reputation as “the crisis accountant”. To clarify, I solved the crisis versus creating it.

The Truth About Accounting
- Accounting is not rocket science, so don’t get intimidated or overwhelmed by it.
- It is a crucial part of your business- it’s the only scorecard you’ve got.
- Address compliance issues (such as tax) now.They are always worse addressed later.
- You could learn to do everything that I do yourself. BUT DON’T. Your business grows when you focus on the many other skills you bring to your business.
- You deserve an accountant who can provide as much accounting and financial expertise as you need, without you spending time finding someone to fill in the gaps. Don’t accept “We can’t do that for you” as a response.
- If your accountant doesn’t understand robbing your 401(k) to make payroll, don’t use him or her. (And call us so we can avoid that!)
