Bio
Rich Rusnack
Amy joined us as Interim Controller at a time of transition in our finance team, and during a period of extremely high growth for our Company. Her ability to quickly learn the business, expedite our monthly close process, and build a solid financial forecast provided the confidence and stability we needed from our accounting and finance group. It would be a pleasure to work with Amy again, and I highly recommend her as a solid financial leader.
Michele Hofherr
Amy has the unique ability to convey complicated material in the most simplistic of terms. I have been able to rely on her for financial analysis, projections and reporting. Not only is she extremely thoughtful and precise, she is also able to layer on her own business acumen and problem solve. She is an excellent resource and I highly recommend her!
