“Working with EGC allows us to have an extremely knowledgeable team readily available to handle as much or as little as we require. PJ Donahue has guided us through some challenging tax situations, answering our questions, but more importantly, providing the advice we didn’t know to ask about. The tax team handles the here and now, while looking to the future and positioning us to grow. Our accounting team has structured our financial system for government compliance but also will do whatever we need from checking an entry to helping develop our policies and procedures. Working with EGC has been a pleasure and given us a sense of security in our operations, while providing the flexibility we need.”

“While there are many impressive aspects of EGC, let me focus on 2 here. First, the timeliness and availability of the team is essential. I have a lot of questions and feel free to reach out to the various members for input and guidance at any time. Second, and extremely critical for an early stage research company like ours, we appreciate the flexibility that EGC provides enabling us to take advantage of as little or as much customized help as we need and as our cash flow allow while we are growing. We are looking forward to a long and growing future partnership.”
Debbie Somers, COO
