Services Offered

Client Accounting and Advisory Services

With 20+ years of corporate accounting experience, I provide small business owners and real estate investors with clear, accurate financials that support smarter decisions—not just tax prep. Each month, you’ll get timely statements, cash flow insights, and guidance tailored to your goals.

This is especially valuable for new business owners who need help understanding their numbers. Ongoing support helps avoid messy year-end cleanups and missed opportunities, making tax time smoother and your business more focused all year long.

Interim Controllership Services

Need experienced leadership to get your accounting function up and running? I offer temporary and part-time controllership services to support your business during periods of growth, transition, or restructuring.

With over two decades of hands-on experience, I can:

Establish or strengthen your accounting processes
Provide expert guidance during startup or expansion
Help build and structure the right accounting team
Offer high-level financial oversight without a full-time commitment

Whether you’re launching a new business, navigating change, or filling a leadership gap, I’ll step in quickly to bring order, insight, and strategic support—so you can move forward with confidence.

Tax Preparation

As a CPA and small business owner, I understand the challenges entrepreneurs face—especially when it comes to taxes. I specialize in business tax preparation, offering accurate, efficient, and insightful support tailored to your industry and goals.

My areas of tax expertise include:

Business tax returns for LLCs, S-Corps, and partnerships
Rental property owners and real estate investors (a personal favorite—I’m one too!)
Retail and wholesale operations
Medical practices and healthcare businesses
Service based industries

To make tax season as smooth as possible, I use a secure client portal that streamlines communication, speeds up preparation, and keeps you informed—so you can stay focused on running your business.

If you're looking for a knowledgeable, approachable tax advisor who truly gets what it means to own and grow a business, I'm here to help.

My Story

About Me

I began my accounting journey in 2000 as a bookkeeper while putting myself through college at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Since then, I’ve built a career spanning over two decades as Staff and Senior Accountant at companies with over $1Billion in revenue and serving as Controller for a private equity backed surgery center management company.

Over the years, I’ve had exposure to business purchases, acquisitions and corporate audits from the inside, gaining hands-on experience in everything from financial reporting and internal controls to budgeting/forecasting and due diligence. Today, I bring that same level of skill and professionalism to the businesses I serve—because they need and value the kind of insight I can offer.

In 2024, I launched my own practice to gain the flexibility to spend more time with my family, be near the beach I love, and finally work for myself. It is one of the best decisions that I have ever made and I genuinely enjoy helping my small business partners thrive!

I live in North Raleigh with my husband Patrick Bayley, our two sons, and our two beloved dogs. When I’m not working with clients, you can probably find me enjoying time with my family—or planning my next beach day.

Coming soon: I’m excited to be earning my Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) designation and will begin offering professional business valuation services in Q3 2025.
