Praise forFast Close: A Guide to Closing the Books Quickly

A must-read for the corporate controller.”
—David Taylor, ACMA, MBA, VP Strategy, Trintech Inc.

Steven Bragg points out everything that can be done outside the close that you just never realized didn’t actually have to be part of the month-end close process! Very commonsensical approach!”

—Matthew Posta, Esq., CPA, Vice President of Finance, Key Air, LLC
