About Andrea Krueger

Hi! You can call me "Andi"

I founded this accounting practice, originally, in 1985 when it occupied one small, sublet, office on Frazee Road overlooking the yet to be developed Mission Valley region of San Diego.  We've had many adventures since then and I'd like to tell you about some of them and how they've contributed to the practice as it is today.

Let's just say, "We've been around the block."  From New York to California to Michigan, back to New York, and back to San Diego.  With a Bachelor's in Business Administration and a Major in Accounting from St. Bonaventure University, the first stop was Public Accounting. Four years in Rochester, NY and another five years in San Diego including the original start-up of this consulting practice.

Next was a move to Los Angeles and  into Software Development.  Developing software that produces individual federal and state tax returns by authoring calculations, computer interface, and user manuals.  At that same time I also earned a Master's of Science Degree in Taxation from Golden Gate University.  I was then recruited to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan where I spent four years developing a similar software product from scratch.  

Then back to public accounting with a "Big Four" firm gaining a broad range of knowledge and new talents from my exposure to numerous high wealth clients.  

I received my CPA license in January, 2000 and set back out on my own where I now have the opportunity to utilize my diversified knowledge and skills to provide Controller-by-the-Hour, Business Management, and Tax Consulting services to a wide variety of clients.  Out of curiosity and/or necessity I have also taught myself how to design and publish web sites, E-rooms, MS Access databases, and many more computer, software, and technical skills.

The contract services I provide, and have provided, as a part of my practice to large corporations helps to keep me up to speed on the latest big business best practices, trends, and technology.  It also allows me access to a large network of knowledgeable industry leaders and resources.

Through the years, I have also been heavily involved with many non-profits in various capacities and picked up additional skills in the areas of Marketing, Event Management, and Promotions.  

That's what happens when you live each day in the relentless pursuit of challenge. I've been fairly successful at finding new and interesting challenges and would appreciate an opportunity to share the teachings of my experiences with you.  You too can benefit from the lessons learned at my "School of Hard Knocks," and without all the knocks.
