 Meet Shirley Singleton, CEO & President, Edgewater Technology
Wakefield, MA
Award-Winning Technology Executive Recommends MFA
For more than a dozen years, Shirley Singleton has relied on MFA’s technical acumen and excellent service.
As co-founder of Edgewater Technology, Inc., Singleton knows how essential it is for companies to receive effective financial guidance during all stages of the business life cycle. "MFA’s – Moody, Famiglietti & Andronico’s – critical role began during Edgewater’s earliest days," she says. "MFA’s managing partners accompanied me to meetings with bankers, helping me to pursue aggressive factoring loans to get the company through our initial growth phases." MFA also conducted financial audits for the technology management consulting firm.
In 1999, Edgewater was sold to a public company. "MFA was instrumental in guiding me through this transaction," Singleton says. When Singleton was named Edgewater’s CEO and President, MFA assisted with this critical shift. Since 2002, MFA has continued to serve Edgewater in the secondary CPA firm role: e.g. conducting the annual employee benefit plan (401K) audits. This also helps with independence guidelines in the Sarbanes-Oxley era.
Singleton also uses MFA for her personal tax planning and trust services. "MFA’s family and fiduciary tax practice is wonderful, and has created several trusts for me," Singleton notes, "such as one for my elderly parents."
Singleton, whose numerous business management honors include being named to Boston Magazine's Top 100 Powerful Women for 2003, encourages other executives to "consider MFA for help with business plans and obtaining cash if you’re a start-up, and for guidance with credit line extensions for your growth phase. MFA’s expertise will fine-tune your business plans and help you extend credit lines with solid presentations to bankers."
Perhaps more than anything, Singleton appreciates the singular attention she receives from MFA. "With MFA, you feel they know you," she says. "Their service has always been second to none."
