After selling her staffing company in 2000 she moved back home to Santa Barbara and began working with several local clients. She has assisted her clients in all aspects of their business, from cleaning up their financial records, uncovering fraud, streamlining their accounting procedures, training their staff, preparing financial statements, and getting their books “tax ready” for their tax preparer. Her clients view her as an integral part of their management team.
