Why Clients Choose Us
40+ Years of Real-World Experience
As a former CFO/COO for multiple firms, I see what younger firms miss and know exactly what financial information you need.
Multiple Quality Control Processes
I ensure your data is correct and complete, because great decisions come from having great information.
Financial Insights, Not Just Reports
I review your financials with you so you understand them—not just deliver paperwork you don't know how to use.
Properly Structured Chart of Accounts
By shaping your chart of accounts, I ensure you get the insights you need from your bookkeeping efforts.
Face-to-Face Relationship
Based in St. Petersburg, FL—I prefer local clients for personal, face-to-face contact and deeper understanding.
Focus on What Matters
I relieve you of financial management responsibilities so you can focus on sales and operations—and grow your business.
Profit Is Not a Dirty Word
Profit makes all sorts of things possible—for your business, your employees, and your family. I enjoy relieving business owners of financial management responsibilities so they can focus on sales and operations and grow their businesses.
Construction is a variable cost intensive business, making these firms very margin sensitive. Understanding your numbers isn’t optional—it’s essential for survival and growth.

Great Decisions Come from
Great Information.
I started The Contractors’ Bookkeeper in June 2023 after 40+ years as a C-level executive, management consultant, and turnaround specialist. With an MBA from Dartmouth, a BS in Civil Engineering, and designation as an Enrolled Agent, I bring a rare combination of financial expertise and construction industry knowledge to every client.
As CFO, I helped grow a family of construction companies from $3M to $42M in revenue in just three years. As COO of a national roofing company, I helped scale revenue from $30M to $265M. I’ve been through IRS audits, led turnarounds, secured angel funding, and managed M&A integrations. I know what financial information you need because I’ve lived it.
Based in St. Petersburg, FL, I prefer face-to-face contact with local clients. My goal is to relieve you of financial management responsibilities so you can focus on sales and operations—and grow your business.
