    Corporate finance and operational leadership at one of the world's largest defense contractors — where margin discipline meets mission scale.

    Cross-border financial operations, multi-currency complexity, and the kind of problem-solving that only comes from working far from home.

More than a CPA

Clients aren't hiring a tax preparer. They're hiring a trusted financial partner.

Christopher's career spans Fortune 500 corporate leadership, international assignments, decades of business ownership, deep tax expertise, and licensed insurance work. That range is the point. Real business decisions are rarely about a single number — they sit at the intersection of taxes, cash, risk, structure, and strategy.

That's the lens Christopher brings to every engagement.

The financial quarterback

Most advisors see part of the picture. Christopher sees the whole field.

Your tax strategy affects your insurance. Your insurance affects your wealth. Your wealth affects your business decisions. Most advisors only watch one position. Christopher coordinates every moving piece — calling the play for your entire financial life.

One quarterback. One strategy. One coordinated plan.
Decisions made with the full picture in view — not in silos.
A direct line to the person who actually understands your situation.

Built for business owners

Every service exists for one reason: helping owners make better decisions.

Read this as outcomes, not a service list. Each engagement is built to deliver growth, profitability, confidence, wealth, clarity, and better decisions — in that order.

01

Business Consulting

Better decisions, made earlier.

Strategic guidance on the operational and financial decisions that shape what the business becomes — pricing, structure, growth bets, exit planning.

02

Strategic Tax Planning

Keep more of what you build.

Proactive, year-round strategy designed around the business and the owner — not a once-a-year scramble to file.

03

Transaction Structuring

Get the deal right the first time.

Acquisitions, sales, partnership changes, real estate — structured for tax efficiency and long-term wealth.

04

Accounting

Numbers you can actually run on.

Books that tell the truth in real time — so leadership decisions are grounded in reality, not in last quarter's gut feel.

05

Payroll

Run a team without running yourself ragged.

Payroll, contractor reporting, and entity-level compliance handled cleanly and on time.

06

Financial Planning

Personal wealth, on purpose.

Aligning the business with the family balance sheet — so the company is funding the life it's supposed to.

07

Tax Resolution

End the IRS problem. Move on.

Decades of experience resolving the complex tax issues most preparers won't touch. Federal, state, multi-year.

Guidance built on experience

Experience creates perspective. Perspective creates better advice.

Most CPAs have spent their careers inside a single office. Christopher's career has spanned Fortune 500 boardrooms, global assignments, business ownership, and decades of private practice. The result is a kind of judgment you can't shortcut.

What working together feels like

Personal.  Responsive.  Proactive.

Christopher's clients don't get handed off to junior staff. They get the same person — and the same perspective — through every stage of working together.

01

Discovery

A real conversation. Where the business is, where you want it to go, what's keeping you up at night. No script.

02

Financial Assessment

A full picture of the moving parts — taxes, cash flow, insurance, structure, personal wealth. The good and the messy.

03

Strategic Planning

A coordinated plan built around your goals — not a template. Owner first, business second, tax third.

04

Implementation

Christopher and his team execute. Filings, planning, structure changes, communication with other professionals.

05

Ongoing Advisory

Recurring touchpoints — quarterly strategy, monthly clarity, and a direct line when something real comes up.

06

Long-Term Growth

Years into the relationship, the value compounds. The plan flexes as the business grows. The partnership deepens.

Serving Dallas–Fort Worth's builders

For the people building a business, a legacy, or financial independence.

Christopher works with people who are actively building something — across Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Dallas, Fort Worth, and the Metroplex. Not maintenance clients. Builders.

Entrepreneurs

First-time founders to serial operators — building the next DFW success story.

Business Owners

Established operators ready for a financial partner who can keep pace.

Executives

Stock comp, deferred comp, multi-state — handled by someone who's lived it.

Professionals

Physicians, attorneys, consultants — managing high income and high complexity.

Families

Generational wealth, education planning, family business transitions.

Growing Companies

Multi-entity, multi-state, real estate, payroll — coordinated under one roof.

Sports City USA

Frisco's identity — home to The Star, PGA of America, and a generation of championship-caliber business builders.

Fastest-Growing Communities

One of America's most ambitious business communities — a destination for executives, founders, and growing companies.

Texas Innovation

Modern Texas business culture: forward-looking, growth-oriented, deeply rooted, unapologetically ambitious.

The human side

The advisor just for you.

The same curiosity, discipline, and service ethic that shaped Christopher's career shape the way he shows up for his clients and his community

Start the conversation

Let's talk about what you're building.

A consultation is a real conversation — not a sales pitch. Bring your situation, your goals, and the questions no one's been able to answer yet.

Your information is kept private. Christopher personally reviews every inquiry.
