Bio
Craig S. Dykstra MSA, MBA, BBA
I hired Bill to be the Controller of one of our most difficult plants - the Richmond, KY plant. Bill was hired specifically for this position due to his experience in handling stressful and difficult situations. During his time at Gill, Bill had always remained calm under difficult and tenuous situations. Bill had always demonstrated that he was a team player and always had the best interest of the plant at heart while performing his duties with the highest level of integrity. If you are looking for a Controller who embodies integrity and teamwork throughout all of this duties, I would recommend that you consider Bill for such an integral and important position. Cordially Yours - Craig Dykstra Group Controller - US Operations Gill Industries

When I was in school on my way to becoming a CPA candidate, Bill Thompson recognized my talent and promoted me to his team. This was a staging point for both my career and advanced the firms accounting department, as I was of great service in my advancing career for years to come at this firm. During the time I worked with Bill, his talent evaluation and employee management skills were on full display, creating loyal hard working teams for his and his firms. He isn't afraid to take a hard line when necessary, but doesn't sacrifice team building to do so. He brought decades of accounting experience to the table as well. Any organization would be considered fortunate to have his skillset in their employ. I now have a prominent role in development for a large nonprofit. Even now this organization is unknowingly benefiting from Bill Thompson's influence on my career-where I may not be today without his vision.
