Bio
Santiago Vazquez IV, CPA
Parul served as the lead audit manager during our yearly financial statement audit. She managed the relationship very well and was very efficient in her work ethic, communication style, and overall service. She applied her industry and client knowledge very effectively which made the overall process an enjoyable one. It was a pleasure working with Parul and I would gladly work with her again in the future.
