Why do you write like you're running out of time? When I place my figurative pen on paper, that song from Hamilton often runs through my mind! As the Senior Editor of The Woodard Report, I take great pride and pleasure in publishing educational articles, news pieces, and relevant information about the accounting and bookkeeping professions to empower small business advisors to transform small business. With two Master's degrees (Business Administration and Accounting) and extensive experience in small business operations, financial analytics, and back-office operations, I know enough to know that I don't know everything. So, I rely on skilled professionals and inspirational and educational thought leaders as primary contributors to The Woodard Report. However, you will see articles with my byline; my fingers itch for that figurative pen!
