“As the Accounting Manager in an architectural company, I had to reconcile our accounts with consultants, one of which was Haley and Aldrich, where my primary contact was Douglas Drake.  Many of those reconciliations were far from simple, but Doug was always professional in his approach, responding promptly, patient and thorough in details.  Our communication was by phone and email, exchanging information and documentation.  I enjoyed these business relations with Doug through a number of years and based on my experience I would recommend him to others.”

Arkady Sigal, Accounting Manager at Perry Dean Rogers & Partners: Architects

“I have known and worked with Douglas Drake for about 16 years.  Doug was my main contact for solving problems with cash receipts, payment issues, and client credit issues as well as many other tasks.  Doug was always responsive and very knowledgeable about every aspect of his job.  Doug was also great about anticipating the next step as problems came up and provided information to respond in advance which saved us time and money.  Basically, Doug went above and beyond his job description to provide information and services that kept me informed and ahead of potential risk.  Doug was a key employee at Haley & Aldrich and is great to work with.”
