About

I help design / project based businesses, CPG / inventory businesses, and service businesses turn messy financials into clear reporting that helps business owners understand the story behind the numbers and empower them to make the best decisions for their business. Tekio Advisors provides outsourced accounting, fractional controller, & FP&A support for businesses that need stronger visibility into cash flow, profitability, and gross margins without hiring a full-time finance executive. As an Audit Manager I have advised clients from $10M to $160M and I saved one client over $100K after discovering they were being overcharged on their royalty agreement. I am highly adaptable and I have extensive experience with GAAP financial statement preparation for both for-profit and nonprofit organizations including note disclosures, reviewing compliance with lender financial covenants, inventory, Asset Based Lending (ABL), A/R Factoring (PO Financing) and technical accounting.
