About Chris
Career
Throughout my professional journey, I have accumulated over two decades of expertise in business administration, encompassing a decade in public accounting and more than twelve years in corporate accounting. I have also ventured into entrepreneurship, successfully establishing two start-up businesses. Over the past ten years my focus has shifted toward accounting management, as well as spearheading business development and growth initiatives for small enterprises.
As an entrepreneur, I’ve experienced firsthand the struggles of starting a business from scratch.
My goal at Reconciled Solutions is to bring my expertise to each client and help our community of entrepreneurs apply these principles to their small business, so they can take their financial performance to the next level.
As Accounting Manager, I manage work assignments and deliverables for our staff, and I am the communication point between our clients and bookkeepers. I manage the big picture of client expectations and make sure the service they get is worth what they pay for it.

Personal Interests
I enjoy spending time with my family, which includes four kids and two grandkids. I love cooking both classic dishes and new recipes, and it brings a lot of joy to my friends and family. I also dabble in making fruit wine and different fruit cheeses, plus I collect unique tropical plants as a hobby.
My biggest passions are exploring and traveling. I’m all about rugged outdoor adventures and challenging myself in tough conditions. I’ve traveled quite a bit, but there’s still so much more of the world to see.
