Quote – What excites you about your career?

 “I enjoy working with the variety of different people and entities in my job.  I work with presidents of corporations, CFOs, bookkeepers, nonprofit executive directors, program managers, plant managers, etc. I like the challenge of working with both the financial statement and tax side of a corporate client as well as the program / mission side of tax-exempt organizations.  Each business has its own strengths and also its own challenges. While most people think of their accountant as sitting at a desk all day crunching out the numbers, I prefer the people component of my job the most. ”
