He also spent a number of years working in accounting for some large manufacturers. His special area of expertise was in integrating all of the accounting functions within the framework of information technology, and was the project manager for several major IT initiatives. Unfortunately, as CFO of a floundering company, he made some bad decisions in order to try and keep the company afloat and subsequently pled guilty to federal charges of providing false information to a financial institution (with no personal gain to Mark). He currently is performing contract accounting work to a number of for-profit and non-profit entities in addition to tax return preparation for both individuals and corporations.
