Q: How do you measure success?

A: Getting all my tax returns filed by the deadline! Seriously, success in my tax preparation and nonprofit financial controls business is when I’ve resolved an issue, clarified a complexity or relieved a stressor. It’s all about doing purposeful work and helping clients achieve their objectives.

Q: What has been an unexpected surprise since starting your business in Arlington?

A: The many volunteer opportunities where I can direct my financial and nonprofit experience. I never realized how much charitable nonprofits in our community rely on the help of business professionals. I’ve lived in Arlington since 2001, but since starting my business here in 2014, I’ve had an even better appreciation for our rich sense of community and the many opportunities to be involved more fully.
