About
20+ Years in the Trenches: From premiere sports organizations to your front office
With over two decades of experiences—from the rigor of PwC to the offices of the NBA, professional sports teams, and multiple growth ventures—I know that an ambitious vision is only as strong as its financial foundation. Throughout my career, I have focused on one critical goal: helping organizations run faster and smarter. As a CPA with an MBA and a concentration in IT Management, I've led diverse financial initiatives, from global consolidations to 100-person audits, team buildout, and everything in between. Through it all, I serve as a bridge between complex accounting/finance operations, technology enablement, and executive communication.
Why JCW Accounting Advisory?
After years of driving strategy for premier organizations, I realized that the businesses that need this expertise most are the ones often priced out of it. I founded JCW Accounting Advisory to bring this experience to growth-stage entrepreneurs. By leveraging a deep technical toolkit that includes NetSuite, MS Dynamics, and Ramp, I eliminate operational friction so you can focus on strategy rather than spreadsheets. I join your team as a dedicated partner, providing the systems, integrity, and velocity your organization needs to reach the next level.
What I Bring to Your Team
Operational Excellence: I don’t just "do the books." I architect tech-forward systems (NetSuite, MS Dynamics, Quickbooks, Ramp) that automate manual work and reduce errors.
Stakeholder-Ready Reliability: With deep experience in audit management and board-level reporting, I ensure your financials are always ready for partners, creditors, or investors.
A Partnership Mindset: I lead with a service mindset. I’m here to be a teammate who understands your operational pains and works alongside you to solve them.
