Bio
Joellen Wooten
Simply said, Paul is exactly who you want on and by your side. Not only is Paul as dedicated as they come, his level of aptitude and eagerness to learn and contribute are rare. I have worked closely with Paul for the past 3 years and have benefited greatly from his skills. As a manager in accounting for several years, there are few qualities as important to me in an employee as the confidence to ask questions and engage. Paul’s thorough thought processing has truly made me a better accountant. This kind of contribution is vital to our company’s continued success. His accounting proficiency is evident with each task he masters and his knowledge bank continues to grow each day. I’ve seen Paul transition from Accountant to Senior Accountant in a very short time - a promotion well earned. His ability to successfully handle multiple responsibilities at once is telling of his highly organized mind. Though Paul’s professional attributes alone will provide much success for him in the future, they are equally matched by his personal qualities. Paul is confident and kind. He is committed and fair. He revels in honing his skills while remaining enthusiastic about what he has yet to learn.
