When Edwin Watts was going through the challenge of an acquisition, AFS was hired to provide interim CFO services and analyze our purchase accounting issues. AFS easily integrated into our company and provided the strong leadership and technical accounting skills needed to successfully manage operations during this transition period. In fact, without AFS’ assistance, we would not have been able to generate the fi nancial statements needed for our external audit. AFS’ quality and fl exibility created an effective and effi cient environment for other executives to build on in the future.
