Bill has a strong background in:
• Auditing and other assurance engagements
• Inventory costing consulting and evaluation
• Business forecasts and projections
• Business acquisition and divestitures
• Systems and knowledge management documentation
• Family business planning and succession planning
• Employment compliance and employee management
