" Jessica White is an exemplary auditor for Brown Edwards. Jessica manages the audit in ways that are instructional and helpful, as we prepare the reports and information needed to complete the audit work for our plan. Jessica is organized, efficient and her preparation process is clear and easy to understand. She is thorough and is always willing to answer questions or explain any part of the audit or clarify requirements. Jessica is a competent professional and a pleasure to work with and is always ready to assist us and facilitate an understanding of different aspects of the audit. This in turn helps us be more efficient in the work we do in preparation for the plan audit. I have worked with many auditing firms in my career and the Brown Edwards Team is one of the very best. I would recommend this firm, without reservation to any of my colleagues in higher education. "
