Biography
My accounting career began in 2012 when I founded Cloudsourced Accounting, an online bookkeeping and cloud integration firm. We were one of the first Xero bookkeeping partners in the United States. We leveraged cloud accounting and online project collaboration tools to provide our clients a superior customer experience.
Cloudsourced Accounting was acquired by Aprio Cloud (formerly HPC) in 2015. After the sale, I served as Director of Technology and Marketing for Aprio Cloud, then as a Manager in the Outsourced Finance & Accounting division of the Consulting practice at Armanino LLP, the largest California-based CPA & consulting firm and a top 25 firm nationwide.
I got my start in tech with FloQast as a product marketer. I built out the content marketing team and webinar program, which became our most successful inbound lead generation campaign. After FloQast, I served as the marketing director at Jirav, a developer of FP&A software. As the first marketing hire, I helped Jirav scale from pre-Series A to post-Series B.
Now, I’m running my own startup, Earmark, an app that helps CPAs, CMAs, and EAs earn continuing professional education credits anytime, anywhere. We aim to make convenient, high-quality CPE available to all accounting and tax professionals. Create your free account here!
I earned my bachelor’s degree at Northwestern University, where I majored in cello performance. I got my accounting credits to become a CPA at UCLA.
When David Leary and I started The Accounting Podcast, we had no grand ambitions to change the profession. We just wanted to geek out about cloud accounting technology and have some fun conversations. Neither of us expected our weekly chats to grow into what it's become today.
