15+ years of accounting experience
Across public accounting, corporate finance, and outsourced accounting — I'm not learning on your business.
Waigand Strategic CPA
Bookkeeping and accounting for small businesses, nonprofits, and government contractors
You didn't start your organization to spend your evenings reconciling accounts or chasing down invoices. I keep your books clean and accurate and deliver the financial reports you need to make good decisions — so you have the time back to run what you're actually building.

Why work with me
A CPA who's already in the numbers — not just filing once a year
Big-firm audit background
Including financial statement audits at CohnReznick for nonprofits, real estate entities, and tax credit funds — I know what clean, audit-ready books actually require.
Startup and high-growth experience
I've built and scaled the accounting function inside a healthcare technology startup as it grew from $7M to $30M in revenue, so I understand what growing organizations actually need from their books before they're ready for a full internal finance team.
Partner at an outsourced accounting firm
Experience as a partner at an outsourced accounting firm, doing exactly this kind of work for clients.
Nonprofit board member
I currently serve on the board of a wildlife conservation nonprofit — I understand nonprofit finances from the inside, not just as a service provider.
Advisory-minded, not just data entry
You'll always know what your numbers mean, not just what they say.
