Deborah joined the firm in 2006 where she is responsible for management consulting – expedite and supervise consulting projects. Prior to joining the Bell and Company Team she began her accounting career in 1991.

She takes the time needed to help companies get better financial information for making management decisions. Deborah also works with Bell and Company on processes and work flow.

For one company, Deborah helped design and implement departmental budgeting resulting in increased profitability and an offer to purchase the business.

Deborah’s personal philosophy is to give every client her personal best.

She attributes much of her success to her father beliefs. Her father believed that nothing should be done “half-way”. Every job should be brought to completion and done as well as possible. He was also able to take a problem, dissect it and find creative ways to solve it. My father taught me to be a creative thinker and to do everything to the best of my abilities.

Deborah learned to adapt and never give up from becoming a single parent in her early twenties, she learned that things change and the importance of remaining flexible which helps her better serve our clients.

Deborah enjoys quilting as a form of creative expression, also very interested in philosophy.
