“From CourseStorm’s inception, Rachel Grivois has worked with me to build financial projections for investor funding, establish operating budgets, maintain strong financial reporting structure, and is a professional sounding board. During standing monthly meetings, we analyze the financial statements for trends, identify corrective measures for budget variances, and evaluate cash flow. Rachel has been key in establishing and maintaining strong financial reporting systems, a fundamental piece in CourseStorm’s growth. She’s a trusted professional and a real “partner” in helping me build CourseStorm for the future.”
