About Diego Maillo

Controller at Berger Singerman. I run the firm’s accounting backbone from close and reporting to payroll, reconciliations, and controls so leadership can make decisions with confidence. I’m known for bringing order to complexity: cleaning up processes, tightening cash flow and A/R discipline, and building repeatable workflows that scale.“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”- 2 Timothy 1:7
