OBJECTIVE:
An experienced business professional seeking a position in the accounting/tax area. Qualified by 31 years experience in accounting, tax, and audit within both the public and private sectors.

Mark's career overview includes Finance Project Manager, Controller, Accounting Manager, Tax Supervisor, Field Auditor.

"My ideal position is to be part of an organization that understands the value of creativity. Not just the "artsy" output of graphic designers and artists, but the creativity needed to take a little marketing research, add some competitive data, mix in a little sales forecasting, then toss the whole thing into the oven and pull out a marketing plan that will increase brand awareness, achieve sales goals, and meet or exceed budget expectations. My role? I'm the "oven". My value in the process is that of the unique marketing person that can serve as a liaison between the artistic minds and the business minds and work as an effective translator. You could say that I have a left-brain/right-brain balance that makes me a perfect marketing director candidate. (Go ahead, I don't mind if you say it!) You may have also noticed I never referred to it as a "job". If the fit is right, it won't be work, it'll be pure joy."

"The thing is, I think most companies feel they have to either get a marketing person that comes from the creative side or one from the business side. Then they might find out the creative person doesn't see how their award-winning campaign is failing to meet the client's objectives, or the business person doesn't understand the creative process and alienates the talented people that poor their blood, sweat and tears into every project. Companies don't see that there's no need to settle for one or the other. They can have both. All they have to do is call me; I'd be glad to help!"
