From Client to Director: Pauline Sullinger's MGA Story

This month Pauline Sullinger is celebrating her fifth anniversary with MGA, and looking back, it’s been a busy five years!

She came on board as a Director, creating our Finance Accounting Support Team (F.A.S.T.) back in 2014 and recently expanded her role with the creation of our Technology and Strategic Consulting (T.A.S.C.) team.

Pauline was a client of ours before joining the team, and her story is an excellent example of how MGA does things differently. Her CPA was Brian Miller, and she tells us about how it always stuck with her that she had someone she could call no matter the situation. Whether it was accounting issues or more complex business problems, she knew she could count on Brian to be there — and to be there with answers.

Watch the video below, where Pauline shares a small piece of her MGA story with us.

Pauline Makes a Difference at MGA

At MGA, we help every team member build a rewarding career that's right for them. Read what Pauline herself has to say about how MGA has helped her build a professional home where she can make a difference for her clients every day.

"When I was in a big company, I always felt like I didn't make a difference. I could be a hero for a day, but I couldn't necessarily see all of the fruits of my labor. I would just do my job, close the books, and give the numbers.

But now, I create processes. I improve things. I make changes that save our clients money, help them make money, and help them to keep working on their business and not be stressed out about the books. Many business owners don’t understand the reports they are getting or the numbers they are looking at. They need someone who can break it down in layman’s terms and tell them what those numbers really mean.

I feel like, at MGA, I found a home where I can do something really great for owners and businesses. When I was in industry, sure, I did my job every day. But now, I make a difference every day."
