Georgene Collins, EA, CTRC, QBO Gold ProAdvisor, RN, MBA, PhD

Georgene Collins brings a unique blend of financial expertise, tax knowledge, clinical credibility, and operational leadership to every client relationship. As an Enrolled Agent, Certified Tax Resolution Consultant (CTRC), and QuickBooks Online Gold ProAdvisor, Georgene understands the challenges small and mid-sized business owners face—and knows how to help them succeed.

With 31 years in healthcare—including 15 years as a Director of Quality and administration roles—Georgene built her career on one consistent strength: walking into underperforming, noncompliant, or financially struggling operations and turning them around. At Methodist Hospitals in Northwest Indiana, she rebuilt an underperforming Infection Control department and led the system through HFAP accreditation. At DaVita, she led the team to achieve the number two performer in the region in both financial outcomes and quality measures during the challenges of a major acquisition.

That same systems-driven, results-focused approach is the foundation of the fractional CFO practice and IRS resolution work she leads today at Simple Finances®. Her clients get an advisor who has done the work, not just studied it.

Georgene holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, an MBA with a certificate in Healthcare Administration, and a PhD in Education with a special study in Performance Improvement.

How Georgene Helps Clients

• Fractional CFO Services – Forward-looking financial leadership for small business owners and nurse entrepreneurs who need strategic financial support without a full-time executive on payroll.
• IRS Problem Resolution – As an Enrolled Agent, Georgene is federally licensed to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service in collections, liens, levies, and audit matters.
• Tailored Solutions – Every business is different. Georgene listens, understands, and customizes services to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
• Empowerment Through Clarity – Georgene believes informed clients make the best decisions. She takes the time to explain complex concepts in plain language.

Her mission is simple: to give clients financial clarity, confidence, and freedom—so they can grow their business and achieve lasting success.
