Then I create a personalized strategic, forward thinking plan to help you perform at your optimal levels in the areas of career, relationships, emotions and health so you can run to the rooftops and shout at the top of your lungs "I LOVE LIFE!!!"

Audit Leverage

If AI could make your audits faster and 
more effective, would you use it?

I asked myself this question—
and then I built the answer.

Audit Leverage is my next big move: 
an AI-powered platform designed to help auditors 
plan smarter, analyze deeper, and communicate clearer.

For years, I’ve seen auditors struggle with 
root cause analysis, audit planning, 
and client communications.

Too much time spent fixing words, 
not enough time fixing risks.

That’s why I created Audit Leverage. 

It’s not about replacing auditors—
it’s about giving them an edge.

I’m excited to step into this role as 
Founder & CEO and help auditors 
do what they do best—drive impact.

What’s one part of your audit workflow 
you wish took less time? 

Let’s talk. 👇
