November 2022 Summit CPA Employee Spotlight: Alana Best

As a distributed company, not only do we serve our clients remotely, but our team members work remotely as well. We understand the accounting, bookkeeping, cash flow management, and tax nuances of running a distributed company. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide the highest quality Virtual CFO services while working remotely with (and for) our customers, and we couldn't do any of it without our amazing team.

Every month we spotlight one of our employees so you can get to know us better. This month we bring you Alana Best. Alana has been with Summit CPA Group for a year-and-a-half. She is a Senior Accountant here at Summit CPA Group.
