Timothy J. Milius, CPA

Brian worked with me for 11 years in the Assurant Health Finance department. He progressively assumed more responsibility and earned promotions within the department. He provided very good leadership and coaching to his direct reports. In addition to leading other accountants, he was a veritable workhorse. He took on many recurring tasks and special projects, usually excelling at them. Even if he wasn’t directly responsible for a project, he still desired to stay informed and understand how it impacted the company. Brian is inquisitive, intelligent, and very capable as a leader in the accounting field. I very much appreciate having worked closely with Brian, and heartily recommend him.
