To Whom It May Concern
Re: Tina King,
Tina has been an outstanding Office Manager & Assistant Controller for Ecco Waste Systems Group for the past four years. During my tenure as CFO at Ecco, Tina was instrumental in providing the day to day direction for all office activities, addressing HR issues, providing detailed accounting review, addressing intercompany transactions and completing the monthly analysis and reconciliations for three legal entities. In addition, she coordinated all IT and systems requirements for the group. Her capacity to multi-task and deal with numerous requests at one time, was absolutely award winning. She is a terrific communicator, dedicated, enthusiastic and a supportive team member.
I highly recommend Tina to any organization and would not hesitate to re-hire her in the future. If you have any questions regarding Tina, I would be pleased to provide more details. I can be contacted at 403-***-****.
Sincerely,
Scott D Graham
B.Comm. (Hon) CMA
