Megan Roundy, CMA

I was privileged to work with Maria for more than a year. I hired her as an accounting assistant which was her first role in accounting. Her engineering background and her accounting studies allowed her to catch on very quickly to her daily responsibilities. She demonstrated critical thinking by improving and streamlining processes. She was a team playing and was able to work with all areas of the business.
