My Background
My career started in accounting. Over two decades I have worked inside businesses — managing books, analyzing operations, identifying where money was being lost, and helping owners understand what was actually happening in their numbers. Construction accounting became a specialty: a field where the gap between what owners think is happening financially and what the reports actually show can be substantial.
That operational background is what I bring to AI Consulting. Before recommending any automation or AI tool, I want to understand the process it is supposed to improve — because implementing AI on top of a broken process creates faster broken results. The AI Audit starts there: with an honest look at what the business is doing, what is working, and what genuinely does not need a human doing it anymore.
As a Fractional CFO, I work with business owners who need financial clarity without the overhead of a full-time finance executive. That means clean reporting, cash flow visibility, and strategic conversations about where the business is going — not just where it has been. I am also a CPA Candidate, deepening the foundation that has underpinned this work for years.
Tap Into Success LLC is based in Florida and serves clients virtually across the country. If you are a business owner trying to get clearer on your finances, simplify your operations, or understand where AI actually makes sense for your business — this is the work I do.

The Approach
Good consulting starts with understanding the business before recommending anything. These are the principles that shape every engagement.
Every engagement begins with a structured assessment of where the business actually is — financially, operationally, and in terms of readiness for change. No solutions before the diagnosis.
AI is not a shortcut for a broken process. Before recommending any tool or automation, I look at whether the underlying workflow is sound — because technology applied to a flawed process creates faster flawed results.
Financial clarity is not about more reports — it is about the right information in a format owners can actually use to make decisions. That is what Fractional CFO work looks like in practice.
I ask the questions that matter and I give straightforward answers. If AI is not the right solution for a particular problem, I will say so. The goal is the right outcome for the business — not a sale.
Recommendations are grounded in what can realistically be implemented by your team, at your current size and budget. I have been inside enough businesses to know the difference between what sounds good and what actually gets done.
No templated playbooks. The AI Audit and financial advisory work is scoped to your specific operations, your team, and the problems that are actually costing you time or money right now.
A Different Perspective
The best outcome of a consulting engagement is not always what the client expected going in.
Sometimes the biggest problem in the business is that the owner does not have a clear financial picture — and cannot make good decisions without one.
Sometimes the right move is simplifying and documenting a process before ever considering whether to automate it.
Sometimes an AI Audit reveals several tasks that genuinely should not require a human — and the savings in time and cost are significant.
And sometimes AI is not the right answer at all — and the most valuable thing a consultant can do is say that clearly.
