“In addition to regulatory changes,

such as Accounting Standard Codifica-

tion (ASC) 606, revenue from contracts

with customers, is one of the most sig-

nificant changes to Accounting Princi-

ples Generally Accepted in the United

States (US GAAP) in over a decade, we

are also working with our clients through

all the innovation and disruption that is

entering the marketplace from a business

advisory perspective,” Giordano said.

“From data analytics to the IoT, com-

panies are being forced to evolve or risk

being passed by their competitors.”

“There are also the time tested chal-

lenges of cash flow and treasury man-

agement, which has become even more

challenging as a result of the China Tar-

iffs impacting many U.S. based compa-

nies that contract manufacture and/or

source products from China,” he said.

Giordano earned a bachelor’s degree

in both accounting and business admin-

istration (with an emphasis on finance)

Accountants (AICPA) and the New York
