    • FSB&W LLC

      Nov 2017 - Jun 2019
      Manager

      FSB&W is an innovative accounting firm founded on the premise that culture, communication, collaboration and client service within an organization is crucial to its success. Our team of experienced accountants and tax professionals work together to implement these principles in every aspect of our business.As more and more independent accounting firms consolidate into regional and national firms, it is difficult for individuals and business owners to find a firm that offers personalized attention. It is with that in mind that FSB&W has emerged with a simple: but too often forgotten philosophy. An accounting firm should be large enough to handle high-level client needs but not so large that it is no longer able to provide the individualized service each of its clients require and deserve. FSB&W is committed to engaging with our clients and our personnel to help each reach their personal and professional goals.I am responsible for providing high quality audit, review and compilation services including financial statement preparation in a timely manner that meets or exceeds client expectations; developing an understanding of the client’s business and supervising engagement teams.
