My path into accounting started with a love of film. My first college credits came from a Cinema-Television Seminar at the University of Southern California, where I developed a deep appreciation for the industry. I went on to earn my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Denver before returning home to Illinois, where I earned my CPA license.
I founded West Central CPA to build a modern, responsive firm focused on a few specialized services—one of which is Film Tax Credits. Our team combines accounting expertise, business insight, and real industry knowledge to deliver the expert analysis and personalized attention you deserve.
