    Hi, I'm Tanisha.Every business owner deserves financial support they can count on.

    At Clear North Advisory, I help small business owners take the stress and uncertainty out of managing their finances. My goal is simple: to give you dependable support, more time to focus on your business, and confidence that your numbers are being handled.

    With over 14 years of experience in accounting, including more than 10 years leading financial operations and accounting teams for media companies in New York, I bring a strong foundation of expertise, organization, and strategic thinking to the businesses I serve.

    Now based in Des Moines, Iowa, I bring that same experience to the small business owners I work with.
