I have had the pleasure of working with Lorin and her team for many of my Independent School clients. She is very responsive when I call and always has accounting resources with specific school / non profit experience. Each person I have used from her team has hit the ground running with very little ramp up time. Their work is exceptional and they work to truly become part of the internal team. I am very grateful for Lorin and her ability to source school-specific talent for our short- and longer-term accounting staffing!
