Jeff began his career in the financial software industry in 1999 with Lacerte Tax Software, just after it was purchased by Intuit. As an Intuit Account Manager, Jeff was able to consult with both large and small accounting firms. He has also worked and trained alongside QuickBooks ProAdvisors for almost 17 years. After leaving Intuit, Jeff worked for Mendelson Consulting in Business Development and most recently, for Acctivate in Channel Development. Jeff’s passion, by far, is in training and development. Since his role at Intuit, Jeff has traveled to numerous conferences speaking and training on leadership development, business development and financial software products. His recent book, Character Driven Leadership, was written for leaders who desire to maximize their leadership effectiveness based on the principles of human character. In his book, Jeff describes the process by which leaders make decisions and the relationship between a leader’s character and his or her success. This book is the foundation on which Jeff bases his training workshops and speaking engagements.
