Neil was incredible when I was looking for a new position. I not only valued his input and opinion but truly knew he cared about what was best for me and not just throwing me into a position to try and make a commission. This was an extremely nerve wracking process for me, but Neil took the time to get to know me well enough he could tell how an interview went just based on the tone of my voice. I could tell he also had spent time getting to know the companies I was interviewing with as he was able to give me insight into what they were looking for and help give me confidence going into interviews. He provided me realistic expectation and had all the patience in the world with my little anxious heart. I cannot say enough good or positive things about my job hunting experience with Neil and whole heartedly recommend him for anyone looking for their next move. I’m extremely happy in my position but should I decide to make a change, Neil will absolutely be who I go with! Thinking about a career move in accounting and finance? Neil is here to guide you.
