Growing up the daughter of small business owners, it was a desire to help her parents and others like them that led Bernie on the path toward accounting and consulting. Her fresh perspective on accounting and warm, humorous nature  puts her clients at ease and lets them know she has their back. In fact, high-fives are known to occur in the office on a regular basis, particularly when Bernie and her teammates make suggestions that help clients save money. Along with her knowledge, it’s this rapport that has resulted in clients working with Bernie for years – including some who have been with her since she first started her career.

Outside the office, Bernie is an active community member who volunteers her time with organizations and projects that impact future generations. She enjoys networking and regularly speaks on her service and industry specialties. In her spare time, she is a creative at heart who enjoys writing songs and stories, golfing and Bunco.
