Thomas (Tom) Richards worked as the Controller for Pocket Communications, LLC and its successor, Carnegie Technologies, LLC for a number of years before and for five years after my becoming the CFO for both Companies. Tom was my most trusted advisor as well as the Sole Owner's. He was responsible for the normal duties of a Controller as well as the regulated tax components associated with a telecommunications Company.His work on the Texas Comptroller's sales audit, that encompassed a seven-year period and one billion dollars' worth of monetary transactions, was instrumental in saving the Company more than 20 million dollars in sales tax audit savings. These savings emphasized his attention to detail, understanding and application of complex tax regulations and rules, and the preparation of supporting audit documentation.Tom is a person of high integrity and moral courage. His advice was always spot-on. He articulated his stated positions on any issue with professionalism and in-depth knowledge and understanding of the subject matter under discussion. If he didn't know the answer immediately, he would research, document, and present his findings; thus, allowing a decision-maker to have confidence in making the proper choice among critical Company financial alternatives.Tom always had the respect of and trust from his co-workers, peers, and senior management. Personable and affable, he was a pleasure to work with.I strongly recommend Tom Richards to become a member of any Company Team in the capacity and position(s) under consideration. It will be a great decision!
