Georgene Collins

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. 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 Collins spent 31 years in healthcare — 18 of them in administrative leadership — turning around underperforming departments, rebuilding compliance from the ground up, and leading a dialysis facility to one of the top financial and quality performers in its region. She holds a BSN, MBA with a certificate in Healthcare Administration, and a PhD in Education with a special study in Performance Improvement. Today, as co-owner and CEO of Simple Finances®, Georgene leads the firm's fractional CFO and bookkeeping services, working primarily with nurses, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals building their own businesses. She holds the Enrolled Agent credential, the NACPB Certified Bookkeeper designation, and Gold QuickBooks ProAdvisor status. Her approach carries over directly from her healthcare career: assess without judgment, build systems that work, and use the numbers to drive better decisions.
