Specialized Governmental Practice





The government industry is the only industry that I am dedicated to serve. This means that the majority of my resources are to ensure that I stay abreast of emerging industry issues, which allows me to better serve your organization.


I have a professional commitment to more than minimum compliance service by providing clients with:

  1. A knowledgeable resource for evolving governmental issues
  2. Personalized responsive services
  3. High quality services
  4. Reasonable fees

I am dedicated to keeping clients informed about significant developments in the industry, and about the impact of these developments on the management and fiscal control techniques of government organizations.


I develop industry expertise through participation in industry associations and activities, publications, special programs and other means. This allows me to proactively manage your needs and to ensure that I am providing you with high quality value-added services at all times. My credentials and professional affiliations are:


  • Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Delaware and Pennsylvania

  • Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE)

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING EXPERIENCE



I have over eight years of auditing experience, which includes audit participation, planning, and supervision of school districts and state and local governmental entities audit engagements.


I have been extensively involved in implementation of the Single Audit Act and the implementation of the requirements of GASB 34. I have completed numerous training courses specifically designed around the GASB codification.


In addition, I served as an audit manager for many large government organizations and provided accounting, auditing and advisory services to a variety of entities. Plus, I served as chairperson of the government audit committee during my Public Accounting Experience.


My entire career has been devoted to governmental clients much as a single department might be dedicated in a larger firm. Therefore, I am confident in my abilities to service both large and small government clients.



INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE



I have several years of experience managing School District finances. This included working closely with the Directors of Transportation, Special Education, Facilities and Food Service to manage these significant cost centers.


My industry experience includes, but is not limited to the following:

  • Responsibility for preparing School District budget of $84 million, with approximately 640 employees.

  • Responsibility for overseeing total accounting services, including accounts payable, payroll processing, grant financial management and general ledger maintenance.

  • Successfully resolved twenty audit findings from prior years to zero findings within one year and streamlined the audit process significantly which eventually translated into savings of approximately $30,000 in audit fees, which were $50,000 the year before I joined the District.

  • Successfully developed and implemented the process for preparing monthly School Board reports- a key function that was never completed.

  • Monitored and maintained year end projections and daily cash flow reports.

  • Guided a staff of five accountants through in-house and on-the-job training techniques

  • Responsible for preparing annually the entire Basic Financial Statements and Required Supplementary Information, a key process that had never been attempted or achieved at the District. The report was always ready at the start of the audit. All we needed was the Audit Opinion.
