“Melissa was the external accountant for the Inform Ag group for a number of years. Over those years the Inform group grew to size sufficient to justify an internal finance resource and after developing a strong working relationship with Melissa and having been impressed with her knowledge, skill and delivery efficiency we asked her to join the team. Melissa went on to lead the finance function for Inform for more than a year. As the first internal finance resource it fell to Melissa to implement many of the finance systems, policies and procedures across the group that we still use today as well as managing all of the day to day and month to month accounting work. Melissa did a fantastic job of juggling various priorities across what is a uniquely diverse group of businesses. As much as having been a great professional contributor within our business – Melissa is also an excellent human who brought a lot of personality to the role as well! We would highly recommend using Melissa for your finance, accounting and bookkeeping needs!”
