·       APPLICATION SCOPE OF WORK SCENARIO

 

Controls/risk: implement internal controls, monitoring routines, WISP-aligned practices; document management and secure data workflows. Responsible for daily as fractional CFO; tasks, such as banking and transfer related ledgers.

 

Compliance/tax: historical federal/state/international tax remediation; multi-state filings; multi-state & county sales tax reporting; tangible tax reporting; entity structure and elections.

 

My work frequently involves complex, high-scrutiny environments where accuracy, organization, and traceability matter (including forensic engagements and support contexts related to IRS Criminal Investigation matters).

 

On the International side, I have long-standing experience with information reporting and cross-border compliance (including FBAR and Forms 5471/5472/8938/3520/3520-A/1116/1042), and I’m comfortable supporting organizations that operate within OFAC/FATCA/FinCEN/FINRA-aware environments. In addition, I’ve built secure, repeatable workflows around document management and data organization, including WISP protocol practices.

 

While I do not hold a CPA, I’ve earned trust through results—leading teams, advising owners/executives, and building finance functions that stand up to operational demands and external scrutiny.
