An executive-level financial expert who combines hands-on expertise in accounting transformation, cash flow, operational improvement, and financial systems implementation from decades of CPA, CFO and business-owning experience.

With more than 30 years of accounting and business experience across manufacturing, distribution, communications, and service industries, Crystal helps growing companies build the financial infrastructure, reporting, and processes they need to operate more effectively and make better decisions. As a former CFO and business owner, she brings both executive-level financial perspective and practical, hands-on operational experience.

Crystal has led accounting teams, strengthened internal controls, developed budgeting models, streamlined financial processes, and implemented ERP and inventory management systems. Her accomplishments include bringing accounting functions in-house, improving financial close timelines, developing comprehensive reporting by location, and creating policies and procedures that improve accuracy, accountability, and efficiency.

Beyond traditional accounting, Crystal partners with owners and leadership teams on strategic decisions, capital allocation, risk management, operational improvements, and employee development. She is particularly effective in environments where a business needs more than routine bookkeeping or financial reporting – a finance leader who can clean up the books, establish scalable processes, identify opportunities, and translate financial information into actionable business decisions. Her combination of technical accounting expertise, operational understanding, and entrepreneurial experience helps businesses strengthen their financial foundation and prepare for sustainable growth.
