I am a certified Public Accountant in the state of California with a multi-decade long career in banking, Fintech, Crypto, Real Estate, Retail and more. I have a small finance and accounting consulting practice in which I provide fractional executive (i.e., finance operations) services. I pride myself in being ‘super social’ and very active in my professional network. My social and professional life involve purchasing everything from shampoo to software. I have learned – the hard way – that researching before purchasing via reading product reviews from other consumers can minimize frustration and disappointment. My goal is to share my experiences with buying a variety of products such as health, beauty, food, travel, software, and financial and professional services to inspire you to be a smart shopper!
