Audit Intern

I've helped transact over $500M in transaction value, ranging from $10-$100M per deal, by directly working with business owners when it comes to selling or buying a business. I work with clients to properly understand and market their business by performing in-depth analysis of clients’ businesses in a wide range of different industries.

I want to help everyone become a business owner/investor or a successful seller by having access to education, opportunities, and expertise.
