How Francine is building a better working world 

“I help trustees, executors and beneficiaries understand the responsibilities associated with being a fiduciary and how accountings can protect them, even when an accounting is not required to be filed in court.  We are embracing new technology such as direct data feeds, OCR scanning and artificial intelligence to make our process even more efficient and cost effective for our clients.

I’m focused on raising the profile of FTEAS in the market as we are the only firm with a national practice and expertise to prepare complicated accountings anywhere in the US.”
