In 2011, Ms. Shelly Herbst was accepted into the SBA‘s E200 Program. During this time, SCORE volunteer, Vic Berniclau, came to one of our sessions to discuss financial matters. He was an excellent speaker and clearly understood financing. As such, Ms. Herbst scheduled a meeting with him to conduct a general review of Marron’s financial reports as well as to specifically discuss the pros and cons of using the accrual method for Marron’s financial reports. After a review of Marron’s financial statements, Mr. Berniclau verified that Marron’s financial administrator was doing a great job, and that our financial affairs were in order.  A discussion was also held regarding the accrual vs. cash method for reporting.
