Welcome to my website. 

Born in Belarus (a country in Eastern Europe), I came to America in 1998 and earned my United States citizenship. As a resident of Silicon Valley for over 20 years, I am proud to be a summa cum laude graduate of San Jose State University and a Certified Public Accountant. I take pride in my profession by performing consistently with integrity, respect, good judgment, and the highest ethical standards. 

A CPA with 10+ years of accounting experience working with startup companies and small and medium-sized businesses, I have designed and implemented accounting processes, integrated scalable accounting solutions, and senior management control systems. In addition, I have prepared my clients for financial audits, pre-IPO negotiations, as well as for mergers and acquisitions. My strong knowledge of full-cycle accounting, GAAP, R&D tax credit, multi-state payroll, international accounting, tax structure, corporate strategic planning, capital, and financial reporting is recognized among my peers. This level of expertise is thus strongly supported by my network of professional colleagues that includes top-level finance, taxation, legal, human resources, banking, and valuation relationships. 

As a certified Intuit QuickBooks ProAdvisor, I often use QuickBooks Online ("QBO") together with many integrated applications available within the QBO ecosystem. While my practice is mostly with companies in Silicon Valley, remote work is readily available for a client headquartered globally but doing business in the United States or for a foreign company that would like to start doing business in the United States. My achievements include CFO/Controller-level experiences with startup companies in the following sectors and industries: SaaS, Biopharmaceutical, Medical devices, Fintech, Manufacturing, Security, and Nonprofit. 

My clients often tell me how much they appreciate my educating them along the way about the accounting profession's arcane rules and difficult concepts. When a small business successfully grows and thrives, it is satisfying to know that it is partially due to my efforts, openness, expertise, and dedication. Having helped several companies reach the pre-IPO and post-acquisition stages, I take justifiable pride in the success of my clients.
