Examples of my work include cleaning up more than a year of backlogged transactions for a construction company ahead of year-end close and rebuilding a law firm's chart of accounts to distinguish trust and operating funds appropriately. I have also supported a client operating at substantial financial scale, including a $35 million equity line.
