Bio
David Gramza, CPA
Brian is a dedicated and hard-working professional. I found Brian to be a person that digs in and learns the business. He has excellent computer skills, including all the office suite products, and also at data-mining larger ERP's such as Oracle. I did not have to micro-manage Brian, he was dependable, reliable and kept me well updated. I also felt very comfortable working with Brian and assigning him duties as we integrated a new business into ours. You would find Brian to be a great team member as well.
Chris Hurley
Brian and I worked side by side on various accounting issues while I was a resource for The Inventure Group and he was the Asst Controller. Brian successfully managed various accounting and staffing issues over the course of the year we worked together. Brian performed well under pressure and was very resourceful and a stand-up guy in a some times challenging situation. I would recommend Brian as a valuable team player in any competitive business environment.
