Mary Ann Wetzork, President of Consulting Controller Inc., developed her skills in accounting detective and rescue work during more than 20 years of working with a variety of businesses in both public and private accounting. In 1997 she formed her own company to offer accounting and controllership services, and general business consulting to small and start-up businesses.

Her extensive experience includes the ability to analyze detailed, complicated and sometimes confused records and determine the best way to correct them. Once corrected, Mary Ann takes serious satisfaction in teaching her clients how to avoid similar pitfalls in the future, empowering her clients through independent understanding, rather than creating dependency.

Mary Ann's skill set includes:

• Setting up accounting and information systems for new businesses
• Training bookkeepers and other staff to properly record information and keep it current
• General business consulting for small and start up companies
• Managing and testing accounting system conversions
• Rescuing and stabilizing troubled organizations
• Preparing forecasts and business plans

Mary Ann is fluent in many types of accounting software, spreadsheets, and word processing programs, including ACCPAC for both DOS and Windows, QuickBooks and QuickBooks Pro and Premier, Great Plains Dynamics, WordPerfect, and Microsoft Word and Excel. She is a Certified QuickBooks Pro Advisor. Her clients include both Apple and PC users. She is a licensed consultant with the One Page Business Plan Company.
