Lynda Brooks’s Summary

Lynda joined Johanna Fox CPA in November 2005 after assisting Johanna with the firm's first television commercial on a media consultant basis. It's unusual for a CPA firm to have a marketing person on staff - it's a luxury larger firms enjoy - but Johanna recognizes the importance of marketing to any business. Johanna Fox CPA is ahead of the curve not only by having a Marketing Consultant, but by offering marketing consulting services to clients as well.
