PROFESSIONAL PATH
From engineering to tax & accounting.
The path to becoming a CPA began with technical study and later expanded into tax, accounting, finance, and business consulting.
CPA — TX, CA | MBA — Accounting & Finance | 15+ years | Deloitte, PwC
An early interest in numbers and problem-solving led to chemical engineering studies. That training emphasized careful analysis, documentation, and the importance of understanding a problem before proposing a solution.
Industry experience later created an interest in business operations and the relationship between accounting information, tax obligations, and organizational decisions. Coursework required for the CPA examination was completed, followed by the CPA examination and an MBA.
Over 15 years spent in public accounting, tax, financial reporting, and management consulting, including time at Deloitte and PwC, shaped the way the practice runs today. Every engagement follows the same structured habits: gather the relevant information, identify assumptions, review the details, and communicate the work clearly.
The professional path is reflected in a deliberate, fact-based approach to each accepted engagement.
