*********@*******.***
I am an accountant with over 35 years of experience. Not ready to slow down, and I feel that the more work I have, the happier I am. I love challenges, work well independently, but have always been a “team player”. I have always brought new clients to every place I have worked. I am a “people person” whose biggest aim is to make sure the client is thoroughly pleased. I live by a motto that you should always treat a client as if they were a part of your family.
