I grew up in Southern California, went to college and owned businesses in the Southwest, and currently reside near the Gulf of Mexico in Florida. I graduated from the University of New Mexico Anderson School of Management with a Bachelors of Business Administration degree, with honors. I received numerous awards and scholarships in college, including the Accounting Association’s Outstanding Member award.
After college, I accepted a position at a prestigous accounting firm right out of college, where I gained skill and knowledge in financial and tax reporting. I took the Certified Public Accountancy Exam in 1987, passing the first time through and receiving the Elijah Watt Sells award for grades obtained on that exam (one of 117 awards given out of 72,000 candidates). I was the seventh person in the State of New Mexico to receive the award since its inception in 1923. I am currently licensed in the State of New Mexico.
During my career as a certified public accountant, I have owned my own public accounting firm as well as owned other types of businesses. I have consulted with many types of businesses over the years, from manufacturing, construction, to service-based and retail.

I have known Claire Moore for over 23 years and she is not your typical accountant. I have watched her take new, existing and struggling businesses with limited resources, facing a myriad of challenges and turn them in to efficient, profitable companies in a matter of months. Her business, accounting and tax insight is exceptional and candid. She is the kind of accountant that challenges the status quo and can guide companies down new directions to success. Her passion and incredible skills are evident.
Claire has personally been an excellent business partner with a passion for problem solving. Her ability to handle multiple complex transactions; her work ethic that won’t quit; her understanding of business processes and accounting systems are stellar and the qualities which come to mind when I think of Claire. On a personal level Claire is made of the highest ethical fiber I know and has a deep understanding of accounting and tax intricacies. She loves numbers. If you’re looking for an exceptional accountant for your product, company or brand I can strongly recommend Claire Moore as your champion.”
