Core Competencies


About

I help nonprofits and entrepreneurial organizations bring clarity to their finances, strengthen internal controls, and grow with confidence.

As the founder of three globally recognized training and certification organizations—including the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS)—I’ve spent my career building impactful, high-integrity institutions from the ground up. ACAMS, which I launched in 2000, is now the world’s largest AML membership organization with over 150,000 members globally.

In addition to ACAMS, I co-founded the Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists (ACFCS) and the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists (ACEDS), reflecting my long-standing commitment to raising professional standards across compliance, financial crime, and legal tech sectors.

Today, I work with mission-driven leaders as a fractional CFO, Controller, and strategic financial advisor. Whether navigating audits, improving cost allocation strategies, building budgets, leading ERP transitions, or optimizing financial operations, I roll up my sleeves to help organizations solve real problems—not just deliver reports.

If you're seeking a hands-on financial leader who brings both entrepreneurial vision and rigorous execution, let’s talk.
