I highly recommend Dave for his superior knowledge of financial strategy and operational analysis. Dave's broad professional background and experience adds phenomenal value to an organization's leadership at the highest level. I've also been impressed with Dave's humility as I've also seen him kindly take the time to help small, local business owners make better financial choices during the start-up phase. He cares deeply for the success of those around him. He is always a wise and skilled advisor but is also the essential team player. Any organization will be better for having Dave Murray involved in their decision making and growth process.
