Hello, I'm Andrew Chung.

Hello! My name is Andrew​,​ and I am a Accounting​/​Finance professional (CPA) and have been working in this space since 2015. I am currently a contractor​,​ as a Fractional Controller & Interim Controller​,​ for two companies and am growing my consulting practice. I started my career in Public Accounting (w​/​ KPMG) and have spent the last ~9 years working in the private sector - as a Senior Associate​,​ then promoted to an Assistant Controller​,​ then to a Controller. I specialize in working with small to medium sized businesses in establishing U.S. GAAP-compliant accounting processes and procedures​,​ ultimately​,​ to help business owners reach their goals. I have worked for companies ranging from $3M in annual revenue to $45M in annual revenue - and have been the head of accounting​/​finance for these respective companies. I have led two companies through successful exits​,​ garnering strong EBITDA multiples (above industry averages) when deciding to take on external investors​,​ or outright selling their business. I focus on establishing a strong​,​ working relationship with key stakeholders - ensuring that their needs are met​,​ no matter how complex. My work is meticulously planned and easy to document. I take the complexity of Accounting regulations and allow my partners to focus their efforts on actually operating their companies. I am not afraid to "do the dirty work"​,​ to ensure that your goals and milestones can be accomplished. At the end of the day​,​ with my services​,​ you can expect to (successfully) pass an external audit​,​ with NO adverse (negative) audit opinions. I would be happy to send a copy of my updated resume​,​ for your reference!
