My strength is the result of many years of experience working at law and accounting firms and also with the IRS. The relationships that I maintain with government regulators at the IRS and DOL, as well as being a member of employee benefit organizations like the ISCEBS and ASPPA, are resources for me to obtain insight into the solutions available to resolve issues. This serves as a great resource to assist plan sponsors with how to operate their employee benefit plans.”
