The Goetzman Group - Testimonials

From a First VP, Internal Controls Manager for a Fortune 500 Mortgage Investment firm:

"… wanted to take a moment and provide some feedback on Gabriela. Of all the consultants that have worked for me, she is one of the most professional. She demonstrates most of what I expect from a consultant. I do not like a consultant that waits to be told what to do (or does not have much initiative or creativity) and I certainly do not like a consultant that does not express their professional opinion. These two attributes are key and what I expect most. The consultants that I hire most (inclusive of Gabriela) are heavy with experience, both in public accounting and private sector accounting. I expect them to need little direction, to voice concerns and observations based on their experience, to give suggestions on areas to improve or consider. Gabriela has been great in all of these areas."

From an AVP Sr. Manager – Sox for a leading Mortgage Lending firm:

"Cathy continues to be a benefit to our company and my Sox team. She is always punctual and is well liked and respected by both the Department Managers and the associates she works with. Her professional approach to communication and documentation helps all parties feel like their opinions are respected and streamlines acceptance of change when needed.

Cathy is very flexible in her work style, allowing me to give her assignments that interrupt her normal work flow without any issue. She prioritizes work well and asks for input when conflicting priorities occur. She is always able to complete work timely (given support by the company) and works well independently as well as with other team members.

We have been very lucky to have her with us for this last year and would love to have her as a full time associate if she did not feel dedicated to your company."

From the Senior Manager in Accounting and Consolidations for a leading Multi-media firm:

“Kelly has been consulting for us now for about nine months. From the very beginning, she has demonstrated an unusually high degree of professionalism and skill, the likes of which, are rare indeed, for someone at her level. She is able to execute complex tasks, liaise with many different levels of management with ease and communicate with clarity and grace. From the first day she arrived and up until now, we have given her many different assignments and she has accomplished them with much less supervision than one might otherwise expect.

Thank you for continuing to provide us with highly skilled professionals as we grow and expand our business.”

From a SVP of Corporate Finance for a leading Multi-media firm:

“I just want to let you know how pleased I am with the performance of your three staff here. Each in their own way has completely internalized the position and brought skill, dedication and enthusiasm to the job and created great department morale. I would not be able to fulfill my various responsibilities without their demonstrated technical and interpersonal skills as well as their truly dedicated support.
John has brought an energy and focus to the position that it has not previously had. He includes in his normal day-to-day interactions with my staff a mentoring role that provides the unique non-monetary compensation that keeps them happy, growing and motivated to push their personal abilities further. His interactions with his peers and the heads of finance at each of the business units is professional, courteous and well liked. He has exercised diplomacy at the right time and in the right circumstances without the need for my intervention. This, for me is huge! Moreover, he attacks each new assignment with a great attitude and the determination to not only do it right but to learn from the issues involved and fix the processes. He also takes huge personal pride in providing accurate work products. I could not ask for more.
Bill’s performance has provided me, for the first time, the ability to step back from that position, trust in the delegation of those responsibilities and be secure in the knowledge that the responsibilities are being addressed on a professional and pro-active basis. He too has brought a mentoring role to the position which has provided the unique non-monetary compensation that keeps the staff happy, growing and motivated to push their personal abilities further. In addition, he has quickly earned the respect of the senior department managers he interacts with as their departmental head of finance. Moreover, his comprehensive style of managing has allowed him to identify and surface several issues that could have been easily missed. Finally, like John, he attacks each new assignment with the determination to not only do it right but to learn from the issues involved and fix the processes. He takes huge personal pride in providing accurate work products. Again, here I could not ask for more.
Finally, Kim has provided that rare quality in an analyst - the ability to not only do the work but to stand back, independently identify issues and make real time contributions to work product quality and timeliness. Her dedication to getting a top quality job done and her great attitude has been outstanding and has significantly contributed to effectiveness beyond the size of my small group. I could not ask for more from a senior analyst.
In fact, it is the combination of these individual's talent that, overall, has contributed to an effectiveness of my group beyond its size. If the rest of your team is as strong as this, your business will continue to thrive.”

From a VP of Operational Finance and Control for a leading entertainment company:

“We’d like to thank Alyce and Goetzman for the help with getting our project completed. It was a pleasure to have Alyce onboard with her positive attitude and excellent work. Her input to the project team was an important part of our ability to successfully manage this project through our wrap up.”

From one of our clients in the Entertainment industry regarding their experience with The Goetzman Group:

"I have been working with Greg Goetzman for several years now when considering temporary assistance in the field of finance and accounting services. With the advent of Sarbanes Oxley, it seems that we have had a consultant of Greg's on board almost on a permanent basis over the past three years now! I am happy to say that Greg's consultants have always been excellent from a technical standpoint and also very professional. Although we are all hoping to have the ideal organizational design supporting us in our objectives, I imagine there will always be special circumstances (such as a maternity leave or special projects) that will generate the need for extra help."

From a SOX Manager for one of our mortgage banking clients with respect to the performance of the Goetzman Group consultant on their assignment:

"Just a note to tell you what a great help Cathy has been to our team.

She easily adapts to the changing needs of the team, setting one thing aside to work on rush jobs and then going back to the pending work. She has accomplished a great deal and does so in an independent, organized, and effective manner. I have been able to call on her to teach others, and to review and update work that was not done adequately by others. Her work is high quality as well as high quantity.

One of my requests is for good open communication, and she schedules regular meetings with me to keep me informed and to ensure her direction matches the desires of the company.

It is a pleasure having her here, and, as you know, I have extended her work time/load here a couple of times as she is a true asset to our company and team.

Thank you for making her available."
