R Shaw Strategic Advantage
“I have seen instances where accountants are resistant to changing technology and fully leveraging the technology available to them. Because of this, they can never seem to get everything done, spend long hours at the office, and are not meeting the reporting needs of the CEO and COO. I embrace technology and am constantly trying to gain efficiency and improve reliability of the information being reported. Continued learning has been a keystone of my career!”
