Cathy O’Brien
Finance & Accounting Manager
As a Finance & Accounting Manager, Cathy applies over 25 years of progressive experience in finance and accounting to oversee and perform a variety of financial reporting and oversight activities related to our client’s financial wellbeing.
Most recently, Cathy was a senior accountant at the American Refrigeration Company, where, among other duties, she acted as team lead for various audits and established a number of documentation processes for the accounting team. She’s also worked as a financial analyst with AMR Research and in financial operations with Supporting Strategies L.L.C.
Cathy was initially torn between her chosen career and a seemingly very different one – farming. We, along with our clients, are delighted that she settled on the former.
Cathy holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Salem State University.
“Accounting is not really all that far removed from farming: the essence of both professions is gathering, preparing, and then presenting. In both fields, no pun intended, you need to follow processes carefully to get the best results. And, just as we couldn’t survive without farmers, businesses simply wouldn’t function without accountants.”
