Pedro L. Rodriguez
Over the past few years I have had the pleasure of working with Scott.

Scott's personality makes collaboration possible with his curiosity and "can do" attitude. He's an asset to any organization he belongs to!

I have had the pleasure of working directly with Scott at BDO USA LLP and Feeley & Driscoll for the past two years. Scott is an eager and devoted young professional that has proven the ability to perform his duties at a high level within a fast paced learning environment. Scott displayed a level of intellectual curiosity inside and out of work that is enlightening to see in a younger professional starting his career! He has demonstrated his technical knowledge and development in areas of audit and assurance as well as tax preparation and planning. He is respected among those he reports to as well as his peers. I would consider Scott an asset to any team he is a member of.
