He joined YHB that same year, spending the next five years focusing on the financial services industry by conducting internal and external financial audits, FDICIA/SOX compliance, IT audits, and ACH audits.

Brad’s primary goal is to help his clients find ways to control risk in an uncontrollable and risky world.
