Tony Robinson, EY. 2nd in charge os us indirect tax. Smartest person I have ever met, cared about each and every single person he worked with and remembered details of their life. Clients loved him.

Decided that I’m leaving audit today. Trying to understand the full range of opportunities in forensics. Will have my CPA and CFE.
