Perspective that adds value                                             

Experience

As Director of Quality Assurance for Steinberg Advisors, which he joined in 2002, Richard leads the firm's accounting and auditing practice, directs its continuing professional education program, and manages its peer review process. To this work, he brings more than 18 years of experience in public accounting, including eight at a large national firm, as well as 12 years as the president of a manufacturing company. As a result, he understands accounting and auditing from both sides of the table, and this broad perspective enables him to deliver service of exceptional value and effectiveness. 

Expertise

Because he has worked in both public accounting and industry, Richard excels in helping clients with internal controls, cost management, operational efficiency and profitability enhancement. Also, his industry experience gives him great insight into the accounting, operational and management issues involved in running a business. So the business advisory letters he writes are more meaningful to management, because they not only point out areas needing attention, but also present specific recommendations about ways to improve procedures and operations.

Approach 

To help clients improve their accounting and financial reporting functions, Richard reviews their accounting systems, internal controls, and organizational structures. On the basis of his findings, he makes appropriate recommendations for changes in the way accounting responsibilities are organized and performed.   He then addresses any management issues necessary to increase efficiency and helps clients achieve their goals.
