RE: Job ID 8793
Dear Mr. Dodson and the Hudson Housing Authority Evaluation Committee:
This is a proposal to become the authority’s Fee Accountant. We appreciate the consideration which our proposal will receive. In this letter I will be switching from 1 st to 3 rd person so please work with me here. Also, I am requesting your indulgence for a few paragraphs. This is not just another proposal. I am excited to be submitting this proposal for this opportunity for the following reasons: Sedrick Blake is a product of public housing. Sedrick lived in public housing until the 4 th grade. He received his undergraduate degree from Memphis State University and his Executive MBA from Washington University in St. Louis (Wash U). He is a Certified Public Accountant, and the owner of Emerge CPA which he founded in 2008. Prior to forming Emerge CPA, Sedrick worked as the Director of Audits and Federal Grants for the City of St. Louis and our staff of 30 auditors, and 10 Federal Grants accountants was responsible for a $1,000,000,000 annual budget. One of Sedrick’s early jobs in his career was as a staff accountant with the Memphis Housing Authority, and he later founded the internal audit department for the authority. Sedrick and his team have worked over the last 10 years to assist housing authorities to improve financial position and operations across the country. We have assembled an outstanding team of financial, operational and compliance personnel who we can draw from regardless of the situation at hand. Due to our wide network developed over the years, we are also able to tap into external resources on behalf of the authority such as CPAs, accountants and auditors who have worked extensively with housing authorities. We will present you with ideas which you might implement to improve your operations when we find such opportunities, and we are always looking for these types of opportunities. We realize the status quo can be comfortable but we strongly believe your staff will like working with us. Emerge was founded in 2008 to assist PHAs. Additionally, the members of our firm have collective experience of over 50 years of providing full-service accounting. We are a national firm. We are able to bring best practices used by other authorities from across the country to your authority. We want to develop a long-term relationship and see the authority continue to
WORKING TOGETHER FOR A BETTER TOMORROW.
