Cherry Bekaert LLC
Director, Risk Assurance & Advisory Services
My experience in computer engineering, accounting and finance allows me to help companies work through challenges where systems and finance merge.

As a Risk Advisory Services Partner at Cherry Bekaert, I help businesses implement sustainable enterprise risk management programs by optimizing internal control systems and elevating actionable enterprise data. I deliver a range of advisory and assurance services including integrated audit, GAAP consulting, controller support services, internal audit co-sourcing, financial system and process design, internal control assessment, IT audit, post-acquisition integration, and FP&A solution delivery.

Prior to joining Cherry Bekaert, I served for eight years in leadership roles including Financial Planning and Analysis Director and Sales Controller for a large public, multi-national semiconductor company. I began my career at a Fortune 500 multinational corporation as a Software Engineer, and transitioned to a Big Four accounting firm where I was responsible for leading the system and process assurance practice supporting central and eastern North Carolina.
