My Job at E-Dak

Coming to E-Dak, for me, meant leaving a comfortable "big-six" accounting
position to work for a 30-person start-up.  It was a tremendous gamble, but my
choice came down to whether I wanted to continue performing repetitive audits or
face new challenges at E-Dak Dynamics, and in the process help to change the
world.

Working for E-Dak places me at the epicenter of one of the world's most dynamic
industries: telecommunications/ networking.  Although I knew little about E-
Dak's  domain of fiber-optics, I felt strongly that my fate rested in the
trenches of Silicon Valley, in an industry where only the paranoid survive, at a

same breadth of experience, most likely being limited to working within a single
division or with a handful of accounts.  At E-Dak my scope encompasses all
aspects of accounting and finance across the entire enterprise.  My reports show
the "big picture" and are used extensively by senior management as a map to
chart company progress and plot future growth.

A start-up firm gives me the opportunity to deal with a wide variety of issues.
From its infancy, I have had the chance to help shape E-Dak's growth strategy.
Once proving myself to management, I was given challenges beyond the realm of
debits and credits, including managing a short-term investment portfolio,
