Learning about new clients as companies and, more importantly, the people that make up these workplaces is where my passion and dedication lies. In the long run, it is the relationships formed by working together on projects that cultivate trust and a lasti ng partnership.
My day to day work includes assisting companies with their Abandoned and Unclaimed Property issues and bring insight based on my years of experience working on unclaimed property projects. My experience in the unclaimed property area includes state and third-party audit defense; assistance with voluntary disclosures; development and implementation policies and procedures; and unclaimed property compliance.
