Brian Sauer, Cpa Email & Phone Number

My experience spans employment as a manager, tax manager, accountant, and IT manager. I enjoy the intellectual challenges of corporate accounting, public accounting, tax advisory, and using business software to deliver as much automation as possible.I have recently started a new position as a manager with Wagner, Ferber, Fine and Ackerman.In my previous position, as a manager within a busy CPA firm, my caseload of client corporations rely on me to expertly manage their accounting function in accordance with GAAP. At times acting as a de facto controller, other times acting as a subject matter expert in taxation, and beyond that as an advisor to owners, I engage across the spectrum of what a typical corporation needs vis-à-vis good financial stewardship. Understanding IT well allows me to help businesses design, customize, or enhance technology as it relates to managing and streamlining accounting and financial tasks. In my current position, albeit as a tax manager in a CPA firm, I am the go-to person for resolving network issues, providing software and hardware recommendations, and implementing advanced modules within software to improve the efficiency and accuracy of tasks. Additionally, high-net-worth and very high-net-worth individuals and business owners tap me to provide excellent financial advice and conduct tax planning and tax preparation in the best way possible for wealth preservation. My expertise includes: GAAP | Financial Analysis | Financial Reporting | Budget Development & Oversight | Bank ReconciliationsRevenue & Investment Projections | Compensation & Payroll | Cash Management Internal Consulting & Strategic Business Planning | Presentations to Senior Management | Advisory to OwnershipRevenue Forecasting | Compensation, Benefits & Payroll | Cash Management | Variance AnalysisTax Planning at the Entity & Individual Level | Cost Analysis & Expense Reductions Internal Controls | Vendor Relationships & Payments | Contract Review & Negotiation | Financial & Tax AuditsCompliance Reporting | Charitable Contributions & Gifting | Staff Leadership
