About Gurjit Singh

My primary focus is helping Prager Metis effectively use information technology and accounting applications by optimizing the tax, audit and administrative production workflows. I\'ve spent the past 18 years working exclusively with a growing CPA practice and I\'m responsible for the creation and implementation of the firm’s strategic technology plan and budget. I oversee infrastructure, security, client services, and business intelligence to ensure optimal processes and resources are in place for the ever-scaling practice. My goals revolve around the continued growth of the IT department through leveraging technology trends that best meet the needs of both internal and external audiences and boost productivity and client satisfaction. I\'ve led multiple merger and acquisition projects from due diligence to cut-over, ensuring proper communications and project plans are in place.
