Writer/Content Creator
Life and business, through an accounting lens.
I am passionate about writing. From short novels, to poetry, to blogs and newsletters, I have tried different forms. The writing process allows me to balance my thoughts and share insights, ideas and imagination with my audience (even if it is just me).
The Balanced Sheets is my newsletter, mostly published on LinkedIn, where I discuss life and business through an accounting lens. I also share my experience and lessons as an operator.
I also ghostwrite content for multiple companies building for the Office of the CFO.
In addition to my newsletter, I am currently working on a couple of writing projects.
