I am educated and trained professionally as a CPA, but my professional passion is running and growing businesses. I enjoy running a business much more than being a CPA!
I founded Whittaker & Company in 1999, and what we do for clients is what is important to me as a business owner, too: to increase business value, gain clarity on goals, and understand financially where they stand.
Before founding Whittaker, I worked as a manager in the tax and consulting departments at KPMG LLP and also for a large local public accountancy firm in Southern California. The high level skills I used then on strategic tax and consulting projects are just as applicable today to the clients we work with on a daily basis at Whittaker.
“Mark Cuban says, ‘Business is the ultimate sport.’ I completely agree with his statement!”
The question I get asked the most from our clients is, “How do I get from point A to point B?” Naturally the answer to that depends on a variety of factors – but I really enjoy working with our clients to find the answer to that question!
