GOVERNMENTAL CREDENTIALS

During the 7 years we have worked with Carr, Riggs & Ingram, I have found that their team has tremendous expertise in local government financial operations. They have demonstrated a keen understanding of our risks and worked with our city officials to develop sensible solutions to mitigate those risks. Moreover, they have provided us with a number of suggested best practices in day-to-day operations and have helped document the way we do things. I can say without question that Carr, Riggs & Ingram has truly made a measurable difference for the City of Moultrie and its finance department. I would recommend them for any work for which they are under consideration. Gary McDaniel, Finance Director City of Moultrie,GeorgiaTHE ENGAGEMENT TEAMYOUR SOLUTION TEAM
