I have known Jim going on 20 years and worked closely with him for more than nine years. He has extensive financial knowledge supported by outstanding credentials that are uniquely coupled with a strong sense of emotional intelligence. Jim is very organized and communicates honestly about financial and workforce strengths and weaknesses. He is readily able to evaluate the finances of a business or organization and provide suggestions that will vastly improve the financial health. There is no issue too small or too large that Jim will not address. Whether it is financial issues such as implementing stronger internal controls, training staff in new methods and practices, making better vendor choices, or analyzing and implementing a plan to bring legacy costs under control, Jim has the skills to take on any financial issues and bring about positive change.
