Don't Let Gaps in Your Finance Department Derail Your Deadlines

Meet Steve,
Founder and Owner

With over 25 years of experience across public accounting, high-growth private companies, and publicly traded organizations, Steve brings a rare combination of technical accounting and operational insight to each project.

He began his career in public accounting, where he supported clients through IPO readiness, technical accounting research, and internal control design. That foundation—paired with deep audit expertise—enables him to help companies navigate audits smoothly and efficiently.

Steve has held key roles in publicly traded organizations where he's built and led accounting teams, streamlined close processes, prepared SEC filings, and implemented SOX-compliant controls.

Today, as an active California CPA, Steve offers hands-on, senior-level support to organizations facing transitions, deadlines, or high-stakes milestones—ensuring continuity and compliance.

Steve provided expert support across several key areas, including monthly and quarterly close, SEC reporting, and strategic tax planning. He played a critical role in managing and testing internal controls, as well as advising on SOX-related issues and systems implementations.
