Bio
Shin Nan Goto
Lance is an excellent worker and a consummate professional. While I supervised Lance directly on tax and assurance engagements, I often learned as much or more about the work and the client from Lance than he learned from me. He prides himself in doing things efficiently while maintaining a high level of quality in his work product. Lance is also a "self-starter" who takes ownership in his responsibilities and can be counted on to complete projects with very little oversight from his supervisors. I very much enjoyed my time working with Lance at Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP.
