What I Bring To The Table
I love consulting on cloud financial technology.
I totally and completely gig out on it. And I want everyone to love cloud tech as much as I do.
I team up with businesses, bookkeepers and accounting firms to embrace the cloud tech that creates effectiveness in their days – and lives.
I’m genuine - “I is who I is” - which makes me relatable and approachable to my peers (those very people you are trying to reach).
I began working in the branding business years ago (as in over 30!), so I know about evolving technology and its changes to businesses and industries. I like to think of them as opportunities.
25 years ago, technology upended the design and printing industry. Many feared it – so much rapid change, so much to learn, so many traditional roles to re-evaluate, quality concerns, integrity issues… and of course, there were challenges and hiccups. But I embraced the new technologies as opportunities. I pressed on, and as it evolved and refined, the new ways became the industry standards. More and more bought in, and this led to greater technology for all.
I am an experienced app advocate
I am partnered and/or certified in over two dozen cloud apps

I am experienced at engaging with accounting professionals
I spend much of my day as an accounting and bookkeeping firm cloud tech coach
I have a very engaged Facebook Group with over 3,800 members (as at May 2021) where the theme is “processes, systems, workflows and the apps to power them”
I speak at live events and then socialize happily with accounting professionals outside of my sessions
I only co-create on topics I am passionate, experienced and have a depth of knowledge about
Where there is value to others. Where I have taken my lumps and learned how to create effectiveness that can benefit others.
The topics I love to share benefit not only those we reach directly but impact people around them.
Whether it’s their team, their clients or their vendors… the reach of our topics are intended to enhance relationships, not simply individuals.
The topics I do love I’m really passionate about
How they can help accounting professionals, SMBs and their clients experience effectiveness and joy in their businesses.
Cloud-based tech stacks, internal and client-facing – I’m gigging on it
Value statements, business visions and creating ideal client profiles – love this
Optimizing relationships, setting expectations and creating boundaries – yes!
Cloud security best practices and technology to power it - I go on & on about this
Creating best practices, processes, systems and workflows and the tech that powers them – heck yes
Google, QBO, third-party apps, practice management apps – definitely
I know my limits - I won’t advocate on a topic I’m not well versed in
Value pricing – no
Hiring, training and retaining team members – no
Cryptocurrency – not a chance
Microsoft, MYOB – nope
