Andrew is Partner at BTQ and serves as Director of Client Operations, overseeing teams that handle day-to-day activities including outsourced CFO roles, contract management, accounts management, international project management, and other cross-client support functions. Andrew also has responsibility for the firm’s domestic and global IT teams.
Prior to joining BTQ, Andrew was with BDO USA, where he quickly ascended from consultant to senior manager, and where his work included helping a $275 million international nonprofit reduce its accounts closing period from two months to five days. His recommendations for restructuring and the identification of ways to improve technology and underlying operations greatly accelerated revenue flow for a sprawling organization dependent on 12 to 20 grantees annually. Andrew was also selected to work with other global organizations on highly sensitive missions in the Americas and in Africa, as well as with large universities where his reporting audits resulted in major resource savings and value creation.
Andrew’s career encompasses the major global accounting and consultancy firms: KPMG, EY and PwC, where he led a team of three and grew a client’s revenue from $500,000 to several million dollars in less than five years.
Andrew’s nonprofit experience began in college, when he founded Indo-Caribbean Alliance with friends to support their communities through mentoring. Today the organization is still thriving, providing legal services, benefits and education assistance, and a music and dance academy. He currently serves as operations lead on the board of the Young Nonprofit Professionals of New York City; is an instructor with Cents Ability, which teaches teens personal financial management skills; and is a mentor with Streetwise Partners, which helps students from immigrant communities transition into careers by pairing them with professionals.
Born and raised in NYC, Andrew holds a bachelor’s in accounting and information systems from Queens College and a master of public administration from Columbia University. He’s a home cook, avid tennis and basketball player, and, along with his two kids, a big fan of New York’s sports teams.
