Let me explain how I actually work, because when you’re ready to hire, you don’t need theory. You need someone who will step in, take ownership, and work alongside you to make the numbers right.

What I do lives between the back end and the front end, and that’s the bridge most healthcare organizations are missing. I come in as a Chief-level Controller and Financial Strategist, taking shared ownership of your financials with your team, from accounting, controls, tax awareness, and compliance on the back end, all the way through cash flow, analytics, and executive decision support on the front end.

Liberty Healthcare Financial Strategist is the firm I founded to deliver the work I’ve been doing for over 23 years inside healthcare organizations. Every result, every recovery, every improvement referenced here reflects my direct leadership and hands-on experience prior to and leading into the launch of Liberty.

I work with healthcare organizations that are ready to move forward, acute care and nonprofit hospitals, surgical and specialty hospitals, trauma centers, academic medical centers, IDNs, behavioral health and psychiatric facilities, post-acute and long-term care, FQHCs and community health centers, urgent care, retail clinics, imaging and diagnostic centers, and ASCs. Different structures and reimbursement models, but the same expectation: the numbers must be right, defensible, and usable.

Most clients come to me when they’re saying things like, “We don’t trust our reports,” “Our close takes too long,” “Cash flow doesn’t make sense,” or “An audit is coming and we need to be ready.” That’s where I step in.

One thing that’s important to me as I’m doing strategic research and pulling analytical data together is this: I don’t leave people behind.
If I uncover an issue, a gap, or a risk, I don’t point fingers or make anyone feel exposed. I take ownership of the numbers with your team, making sure they understand what I’m seeing, why it matters, and how to carry it forward themselves. That way, the fix doesn’t live only with me, it becomes part of how your organization operates long after the engagement ends.

That’s how the numbers stay right.

When people understand the why behind the data, reporting improves, controls hold, and the work stands up under scrutiny. You don’t have to worry about whether a report will survive an audit or whether questions will surface later, because the foundation is solid. My goal is always the same: strong people, clean numbers, defensible reporting.

Over the course of my 23-year career, I’ve worked inside healthcare organizations ranging from $50M to $1.2B, stepping into environments where finance was reactive, fragmented, or overwhelmed. I bring structure, accountability, and clarity, fast. I’m hands-on, analytical, and decisive. I connect accounting reality to economic impact and leadership decisions. I don’t just make the numbers balance, I make them mean something.

My experience includes recovering significant cash, improving operating performance, and maintaining clean regulatory outcomes, earned through controller discipline, strategist perspective, and executive accountability. I work side-by-side with CEOs, CFOs, Controllers, operations leaders, revenue cycle teams, tax and compliance functions, and boards, ensuring everyone is operating from the same financial truth.

Just as important, your organization is protected. Liberty Healthcare Financial Strategist carries comprehensive Hartford insurance coverage, so you can engage with confidence knowing your organization is safeguarded while critical financial work is being performed.

From the back end to the front end, you’re covered. When audits arise, you’re ready. When decisions need to be made, you have clarity. And when you bring me in, you’re not handing the numbers off, you’re gaining a partner who owns them with you.

If you’re ready for a financial leader who will step in, take shared ownership, and make it work, I’m ready to partner with you, through Liberty Healthcare Financial Strategist, from the ledger all the way to the boardroom.
