I was fascinated with Brian's skill, knowledge and ability to take quick ownership of his work when he joined Asia TV/Veria International. He was up to speed with his work and within a week of joining was on top of things. He is detail oriented, team player, punctual, perfectionist and his knowledge of Accounting and Finance field is really admirable. He will be an asset of any company he will work for. I highly recommend him for any position in the field of Accounting and Finance.
