I'd highly recommend Michael to manage any accounting team. He approached every situation with a positive attitude and a smile on his face which created a comfortable work environment. He demonstrated strong communication skills and consistently provided quality work and superior customer service to all clients through his detail-oriented managing style. Michael would be a valuable asset to any organization!
