When I think of how Zachary runs his business, two words come to mind. Trust and understanding.

Elaine A. Ellis

Zach is a diligent and committed worker. He is always willing to step up to the plate and help out for the good of the organization. He is calm under pressure; pays great attention to detail and is a valuable contributor to discussions. His knowledge of accounting benefits our Charter school community. I wholeheartedly recommend Zach as an asset to any Board or organization.

LinkedIn User

Zach is an outstanding manager whose laissez-faire leadership style promotes innovative ideas from all levels of personnel. Under his leadership, ideas are not only embraced and supported, but also enhanced and pursued. His optimistic approach and teamwork-oriented work style influences an organizational structure that is based on achieving goals both individually and as a team. Because of this, I would highly recommend working for, and/or with Zach.
