Overview
In addition to leading the Fort Worth office, I work with businesses and their owners, confidently resolving technical tax planning and compliance issues. I offer sound responses to questions and contributions to issue resolution that assure competitive interest in my knowledge by companies who are looking for an increase in top-line revenue to yield lasting bottom line results.
I do my best to accomplish this by:
- Collaborating with my team of professionals to best direct the direction of the region and meet firm wide goals.
- Adapting to the ever changing tax laws and providing guidance to clients and staff on their impact.
- Cultivating a favorable culture that provides career ownership for each team member.
- Providing technical support for more complicated tax matters.
- Developing a local leadership team that focuses on what is best for our clients.
- Mentoring younger staff as they navigate their careers.
