Cindy Holland
I reported to Jim for over 7 years at PerTrac Financial Solutions. During this time Jim made various decisions that proved to be vital to the ongoing success of the organization. Aside from building month end reporting processes, he also chose and implemented the accounting software (Great Plains) as well as the operations software for billing and receivable management (Softrax). Jim is a strong leader. He is one of the few supervisors who can keep focus on both the betterment of the company and the employees alike.
