Bio
John Torre, PHR, SHRM-CP
Lindsey Bahr is an outstanding professional and I’m honored to have had the opportunity of working with her as she’s very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. On many occasions I personally witnessed Lindsey go above and beyond, not because it was her job, rather because it was the right thing to do. She often took the time to provide outstanding internal customer service and was always patient, ensuring that the information she was providing was thorough and completely understood by everyone involved. She was always available to lend a helping hand anytime I reached out to her and would always see the issue all the way through to resolution, regardless of how long it took. I have met few individuals who are as awesome and high performing as Lindsey and it would be an absolute honor to work with her again. Any organization seeking the highest caliber of talent need to look no further than Lindsey. She will not only make your organization look good but she will interact with her peers with positivity, efficiency and respect!

Lindsey has worked for me on several client serving accounts as a staff accountant while I was in the senior or manager role. She was not only a pleasure to work with from a personality standpoint, but she also had a very dedicated work ethic. She understands accounting and she understands how to communicate with the clients to get the results the team needs. She was able to work both independently and team effectively when she was faced with a more challenging task she had not encountered before. Her organization and tracking skills also contributed to the success of our team. While working on client projects as she often coordinated with me to ensure that our milestones were being met. I recommend Lindsey with highest sincerity.
