Having worked with and studied companies ranging in size from large multi-nationals to start-up ventures, I have seen the usefulness and the power of the information conveyed in financial statements. I want managers, investors and students to be able to take full advantage of this information.

My approach with clients is to actively listen, dig deeper with appropriate and well-focused questions, and repeat as necessary.
