@evenanerd and @ImpactfulAdvisr on Twitter I believe everyone has something interesting to say - even software companies, accountants, nerds, geeks, introverts, and that narwhal-obsessed neighbor of yours. I should know. I am a CPA and nerdy master of dis-intimidation. (Taking the scary bits out of complicated subjects.) - I help CPAs communicate financial information in a way that makes sense to their clients using tools and processes created by MentorPlus.com via my www.theImpactfulAdvisor.com website. - I teach winery owners and their teams how to connect actions to numbers @Bdcocpa.com - I help software companies connect solutions to real business problems. @evenanerd.com - I help real people find their voice and make a connection. Everywhere - I make speeches on all kinds of (formerly) boring topics @evenanerd.com - I have an amazing team of bookkeepers keeping transactions flowing for wineries @solveservices.com I spend my days busily banishing boring from the worlds of accounting and technology, delighted by the humorous, thrilled by spreadsheets, and curious about everything. I work on only fun projects, have connected wine with financial statements, gerbils to software, and sales tax with donuts.
