As controller, he will lead all accounting functions and financial analysis for the firm. His background in leading change and directing teams with similar goals using industry-standard systems and tools will be heavily leveraged. “With the addition of Jason, we continue to drive our infrastructure initiatives to support our growth plans,” said Bill Dandy, COO. “Jason’s knowledge and experience in building and refining existing financial processes and tools will prove to be invaluable at this stage of CR’s growth.” A graduate of the University of Cincinnati’s Carl H. Lindner College of Business, Reverman will be based in Cincinnati with CR’s corporate team. He will report to the CFO and will be responsible for directing the finance and accounting teams.

Check in. Keep calling. My guess is you will quickly turn up some new jobs to do. ❚ ❚ Need to collect some cash? Call the people who owe you. Stop sending statements. Stop sending emails. Pick up the phone and call them. Or even better yet, if the client is local, stop by their office at lunch with a couple of your fellow employees to see if you can pick up a check. ❚ ❚ Feeling bad physically? Go to the doctor. Eat better. Sleep more. Exercise. Go see a shrink. ❚ ❚ Problem employee? Confront them. Then they either reform or ship out. You cannot go on with this as an excuse for your firm’s or group’s poor performance. ❚ ❚ Not happy with your attorneys/accountants/bank? Get new ones. It just takes a little calling around. Sometimes your professional services advisors get stale and a shuffle is in order. Make the change. MARK ZWEIG is Zweig Group’s chairman and founder. Contact him at mzweig@zweiggroup.com.
