Experience Summary
Have spent most of my career in the accounting/financial arena first as an accountant/auditor, then as a Research Accountant, then as a Controller, and in last 10 years as a Chief Financial Officer.Thus I have experienced the many nuances of this profession and can pass on the the true nature of the profession and the hidden requirements for succeeding at the management level.
Teaching Style
Early on I found that when I was being mentored for position advancement, a relaxed casual style with basic Q&A helped me tremendously in gaining comfort with accounting. Since then,I've tried to teach my staff the hands-on approach to accounting and make sure they understand the broader implications of how basic entries can impact the financials of the company and beyond that the management and financial success.
