Brief Description of Yourself:
I have spent the majority of my career in the corporate tax and corporate cash management world along with some experience in executive recruiting at international corporations in the Twin Cities. My key strengths are in relationship building and attention to detail. I have always had a strong desire to own my own business and this just felt like the right fit.
Why did you purchase your Bevinco franchise?
I had grown weary of "cube life" and wanted to find a role where I could use my strengths in relationship building and attention to detail to help others. The Bevintel franchise offers me the opportunity to use those strengths, along with my knowledge and experiences in accounting and cash management, to help business owners improve their profitability beginning with the business they already generate.
