Mark Stovel, CPA

Controller | Financial Performance Storyteller | Demystifying Financial Data and Making Accounting Fun | Developing Accounting Scholarships | Data & Software Enthusiast

I am a story teller that uses financial data, analytics and strategy to tell a company where it has been and the reasons why it achieved specific results. I also discuss the future based on growth forecasts and other strategic plans that will help achieve success over time. 

In my experience as a Controller I have ensured that financial functions were completed timely and thus provided meaningful data to stakeholders. I use all available tools so that all members of my accounting teams have what they need in an efficient and timely manner. 

In addition to being a Certified Management Accountant I also carry the Certified in Strategy and Competitive Analysis Credential from the IMA. The CSCA allows me to take my accounting experience/knowledge and shift into more CFO level functions.
