Note:
I am very interested in working with your company as the Accountant. I am able to sit for
either my CPA or CMA to fulfill the needs of the position. I have had to at times take on clients to
make money to supplement my income. Since my last position with Aerotek I have worked with a
few clients, went to Europe for three month’s bought new rental property in Jacksonville Oregon
and spent a month in Miami
I bring to you over 20 years of accounting experience that started in banking in 1988; to
starting my own company Harbour View Business in 1997 and has taken me to corporate
accounting as a Controller. Full Cycle Accountant through financials. I have worked in many various
industries from non-profit to hotel Comptroller.
As you may notice I have had a bit of shall we say bad luck in the Portland area with
companies either closing or being sold and the positions being taken out of state. A quick note so
that I may clear up the overlap of dates on my resume. Harbour View Business was my own
company since 1994. I moved to Portland in 2007 for family illness and economic reasons in
Florida.
Due to economic and for the personal decision I have opted to forgo working as a sole
proprietor and find work as a permanent employee. I am looking to finish off my career working for
a company that has the potential for growth over the next 15 or so years.
Thank you,
Brian D. Young
