ABOUT me

ZDC Advisory was born out of a passion for entrepreneurship and client service. With over seven years of progressive finance and accounting experience, I am eager to leverage my skills and background to help clients overcome challenges and achieve their goals through strategic and thoughtful solutions.

I started ZDC Advisory following four and a half years at The Siegfried Group, a leading financial consulting firm, where I worked closely with company executives to provide interim strategic corporate accounting and financial advisory services. My clients included large, Fortune 1000 companies to small, pre-revenue startups in both the Boston and New York City markets. Across these companies, I collaborated with finance leaders to fill gaps within their internal organizations through support services relating to financial reporting and analysis, budgeting and forecasting, internal auditing, and special project implementation.

Prior to joining The Siegfried Group, I spent several years with KPMG's Audit Asset Management Practice in Boston, primarily performing audits on large mutual funds, private equity groups, and venture capital firms. During this time, I enhanced my formal schooling with real-world experience in financial reporting in the private and public sectors.

I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees from the Patterson School of Accountancy at The University of Mississippi and hold minors in Mathematics and Managerial Finance.

On a more personal note, I currently reside in West Palm Beach, Florida, with my fiancée Sam. I enjoy spending my leisure time outdoors playing tennis, riding bikes, relaxing at the beach, and skiing in the winter. When I am not outside, you will usually find me in the kitchen trying out new recipes or creating my own. I have a passion for food and find great joy in the kitchen. I also enjoy philanthropic activities and regularly volunteer at the local food bank, supporting community well-being and combatting food insecurity.
