Experience Summary
I have wide and varied experience across many industries. I know the nuts and bolts of accounting and finance from the basic level to the very advanced level. I have strong computer skills and have used many types of software. Through being a business owner and also a manager at various companies I have coached and taught many people who have worked for me.
Teaching Style
I try to assess the skill level of the person or persons I am teaching first. Once that is done, I proceed at a pace I feel is appropriate. If I find it too fast I try to find out from the person(s) what is unclear to address that. If that means slowing down more I will. I do want questions if something is unclear.
