Two professionals were recently promoted to senior accountant roles at CLH, CPAs & Consultants. The company is pleased to announce that Seth Bedwell and Ryan Dessart are now serving clients in their new senior positions. Both of these individuals began their accounting careers as interns with CLH and have grown rapidly through the company’s employee development initiatives.
“This is a true success story for our firm, and a major source of pride for everyone at CLH,” said Tony Gillisse, CPA, and partner. “The framework that we’ve established for our up-and-coming professionals is one of support and encouragement. We want to see these individuals grow into the next generation of accounting industry leaders. It’s been amazing to witness both Seth and Ryan progress from their internships years ago into capable and confident senior accountants they’ve become today.”
In their new roles, Bedwell and Dessart will be involved with training and developing staff, recruiting, leadership development, increased client interaction, and completion of more complex engagements. They will also continue to work with their current rosters of clients in areas such as tax preparation, financial planning, and other accounting services. Both Bedwell and Dessart are also certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors.
