About Me

Built for the Demands
of Modern Business

Accounting professional with hands-on experience in e-commerce operations, digital marketplaces, reporting, reconciliations, and streamlining data functions across business systems.

My focus goes beyond maintaining accurate numbers. I’m passionate about improving workflows, streamlining systems, and helping businesses operate more efficiently as they grow. I’m especially interested in environments where accounting, technology, and operations work together to create smarter decisions and stronger long-term results.

Continuous learning and professional development remain a core part of my long-term path toward finance leadership.

03
E-commerce Understanding

I understand the moving parts behind online revenue, including platform fees, returns, payouts, product margins, and the operational details that impact accurate reporting.

Projects & Product Work

Beyond accounting, I build practical tools that sit at the intersection of finance, data, and technology. Here's a project I designed and developed end-to-end.

SEC Filing Intelligence Web App
About & Use

Plainsheet turns dense SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K) into readable, educational intelligence for retail investors and learners. It pulls filings straight from SEC EDGAR, extracts the underlying XBRL financial data, and presents 21 core financial metrics — each paired with a plain-English explanation of what it means and what to watch for. The goal is simple: let anyone read a company's numbers without needing an accounting background.

Research & How It Works

Building Plainsheet meant researching how SEC filings are structured, how XBRL tags map to real financial statements, and how to translate raw disclosure data into signals a non-expert can trust. Filings are fetched through a Cloudflare Worker, parsed for their financial facts, and run through logic that surfaces multi-year trends and plain-language context.

  • Multi-year trend intelligence across revenue, margins, debt, earnings, and cash flow
  • An AI assistant that answers questions grounded only in the filing you're reading
  • Peer and year-over-year comparison with interactive charts and per-metric education
  • Live stock pricing, a watchlist, and a dedicated Learn tab for building fluency

Work With Me

Outsourced Accounting

Outside of my day-to-day role, I take on outsourced bookkeeping and accounting for small businesses, with a specialty in e-commerce. Whether you need clean monthly books or full financial oversight across multiple sales channels, I keep your numbers accurate, current, and clear enough to actually make decisions from.

E-commerce specialist
Marketplace deposits, platform fees, refunds, and inventory reconciled across every channel. These are the messy parts most bookkeepers get wrong.
Clarity you can act on
Reporting that shows what's actually working. You see real margins after fees and costs, not just the top-line number your dashboard reports.
Works in your tools
Comfortable in QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, and Excel. I fit into the systems you already run, so there's no forced migration on your end.

Intentional Growth.

Each step is focused on building capability, not just moving titles. My goal is to grow into roles where finance is directly connected to decision-making, operations, and company performance.

I’m most interested in environments where I can work closely with operators and founders, help improve how the business runs, and contribute beyond traditional accounting functions.

"I’m looking for roles where I can grow with the company and contribute meaningfully as it scales."
