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.
