About Todd Poston

With several years at a regional, privately held company – and several more at an International Fortune 100 company - I am a financial leader with a reputation for accuracy, perseverance, thoroughness, tact, and for identifying and challenging conventional thinking to increase effectiveness, mitigate risk and improve profitability. I am a dogged problem-solver who is consistent, conscientious, intuitive, patient, empathetic, steady and calming. As an independent service provider I created a detailed operational budget for a $30 million manufacturing company. I also currently manage the books at an accounting software services company. Finally, I am the finance and administration manager at a manufacturing company located in downtown Milwaukee. My goal is to provide financial, accounting, operations and management expertise to influence decision quality.
