CPA and MBA
Andy's individual professional credentials and formal business training, informing how he coordinates resources and handoffs—not a promise of CPA services or accounting review.
About
Andy has spent more than 150 business days in India personally training and developing offshore teams. His two decades of Big Four experience include years integrating India-based professionals into U.S. client delivery, building the training, handoffs, review discipline, and accountability that make the model work.
From in-person training in India to weekly technical office hours and national technical leadership, Andy knows what it takes to coordinate offshore resources and clear handoffs. He brings that background to CPA firms and growing businesses while each client directs the preparation, verifies the accounting work, and retains all judgments and decisions.

Why Offshore
Andy coordinates experienced accounting resources in India for work directed and reviewed by your firm or company. Some resources are chartered accountants; not all are, and they are not presented as U.S. CPAs.
Larger firms figured this out years ago and built their own offshore operations. The advantages are real: a lower delivery cost structure, the ability to scale with your workload, and a time-zone offset that lets preparation work move while your U.S. team is offline. That keeps your U.S. professionals focused on review, judgment, and client relationships. Team and access locations are agreed during onboarding.
Your firm or company sets the accounting instructions and standards, supervises the work, and verifies completeness, accuracy, and overall appropriateness. Andy coordinates resources and handoffs; he does not provide an accounting or assurance review.
Offshore resources support preparation under your direction. Your firm or company reviews and verifies the work and retains all accounting judgments and decisions.
Twenty minutes is usually enough to know whether this fits how your team works.
