Bio
Bruce Glombicki
I was fortunate to have worked with Kim Scrogham during her time at Stepan. I am an engineer who was very concerned with continuous product improvement. I started making incremental improvements in the processes and noticed that some of the financial data relating to product profitability was less than ideal. I tried to get help with the run accounting that I was seeing. I was brushed aside by other plant accountants. I then asked Kim for her help. Kim set aside time to discuss how my products were made, what assets were used, and some of the accounting that seemed odd to me. By having Kim's 'Let's get this figured out' attitude, Kim and I were able to make great strides in optimizing my run accounting. With Kim's help and guidance, we were able to minimize batch and run discrepancies. By listening and learning some complex processes, Kim was able to troubleshoot and fix the accounting problems I was experiencing. She had valuable inputs into my process too. Kim was easy to work with, and one heck of a team player. I have no reservation at all about highly recommending Kim as a key accounting professional.
