Anthony Gotaj Email & Phone Number

I am a problem solver. It is my responsibility to thoroughly understand what it is a company does and how information flows through a company ensuring that the input and output fairly represents the results of a company’s operations. As an accountant I have been responsible for developing and implementing policies and procedures that have established administrative, internal, and system controls of all facets of the accounting process. I am analytical in nature with a strong attention to detail. I understand the “big picture” of accounting and the interdependency or impact one function has on the others. Start-up Experience HighlightsI have worked for a total of (5) start-up companies: Legit Organics, ePlanning, AdSpace, Chockstone and Nau. All companies have had a retail and technology edge.
