Bio
William Markley
I had the pleasure of working with Ruan for several months during a fairly tough stretch for an accounting team at a retail and distribution company. Ruan and I were assisting with various audit related issues and he did a fantastic job of digging into the details, being persistent with follow-up tasks and research, and leading his project to a successful conclusion. A real professional, smart and hard working, and just a great all-around colleague. He's definitely the right person to tackle a tough job and do it in a quality manner.
