Bio
William Irvin
Steven is a focused and detail-oriented accountant. I have been able to rely on him to manage our LOB's accounts payable and receivables with good humor and attention to detail. He's even found one or two mistakes in my expense reports which he handled professionally and with good humor. =)

Steven is not only a pleasure to work with, but his attention to detail, accuracy and his timely responses to the needs of our growing business are un-matched. In a typically "thankless" position, Steven is consistently cheerful and always willing to do what it takes to get the job done. I appreciate his knowledge, skillset, work ethics and values. He is truly an asset to our team. Jeff Trott
