Professional (link to resume)
I have a broad range of senior level management experience in accounting, finance, and human resources. My last position, which lasted 24 years, ended when the family that I worked for sold the business. Since then I’ve been applying my skills and experience in several areas. I work part-time as CFO/Controller, as a business consultant, and as a freelance writer. See the links above (in the header) for more information about each type of service.
