Our client’s environment is our office, we come to you! The process begins with an onsite visit, 5-8 days, to gain an insiders’ understanding of our client’s culture, systems, workflows/processes, and to meet the teams.. We then retreat for a few weeks using a variety of web conference apps to remain close with our newly connected teams; the final week we find ourselves again at the client’s office or chosen offsite location.

That said, Marie believes strongly in remaining ahead of current events, industry developments and the like. For this purpose, she can also be found rotating among her established “offices” within a boutique accounting agency, a university campus, Big 4 offices. Such networks provide access to staff, IT support, and educational literature critical to staying ahead of the norm.

The model is simple. Marie Fallon is the visionary and founder of Emmy Princeton and intends to remain a one-superhero provider for the foreseeable future. Her people-management days are behind her, as busy as they were. All analytical and IT systems staff required for a specific client project are outsourced by Marie on her dime; the same is true for Vice President level guidance on targeted topics such as Tax, Treasury. All is based on what our clients need.

Excellent question! If security risk wasn’t first on your mind, as the reader, as you navigated these materials, we can assure that by the end of our project together it probably will be next time. We take data privacy, client anonymity and network security very seriously. During our live discussion we can explain our tight restrictions on internet accessibility when connecting with our clients or reviewing their data (no viewing your files on airplanes – no way!). I name my clients by project reference so my extended teams often don’t even know company names. That’s something particularly interesting when the project involves a merger, acquisition, restructuring or when new executives are being onboarded.

Each client is different, but Marie’s strong preference is for a client to issue one of their own network-connected devices on which Emmy Princeton can access data and post/submit/archive all materials for client retention. At the end of the engagement, the machine is returned. No data, downloads, communications, etc. remain with any Emmy Princeton team member.

Marie is a career accountant who has been passionate about the field since her 7th grade bookkeeping class. Her 10-year tenure with EY Boston/Hartford as an Auditor found her navigating a post-Anderson landscape, observing first-hand the reactions by both the Big 4 and Corporations to the wide sweeping regulations of Sarbanes Oxley’s Section 404 on internal controls as well as the formation of the PCAOB. Those days were critical in laying Marie’s foundation of relentlessly focusing attention on Substance versus Form whether navigating complex arrangements or the routine every day scenario. This principle became her calling card throughout her business unit Controller roles and when she joined a rapidly growing Boston-based biotechnology company as its first Chief Accounting Officer.

In the blink of an eye, 2 ½ years had passed in which Marie built the accounting function that took the Company public through a SPAC; implemented a variety of IT systems including Workday and Coupa; completed numerous M&A and complex revenue recognition transactions; shortened the financial closing & reporting cycle from months to days; and adopted the provisions of SOX 404. Whereas the pace was crushing and daunting for most, Marie found it exhilarating.

As the dust was beginning to settle post-public offering, she realized her passion and energy faded in her organization’s “sustain” mode. She longed for the Grow, Build, Enhance mode. After briefly considering speculative CAO opportunities, Marie decided to make the career leap once again, this time from Officer to Founder/Business Owner. What started as casual “what if” conversations with her most trusted network quickly turned into a “don’t wait, go for it” verdict. Which brings us to the present day, where Marie is excitedly locating and selecting the most intriguing client partnerships in need of her hands-on expertise. She is obsessed with Emmy Princeton’s mission of providing business clarity through Accounting Intelligence to convert her client’s best-laid plans into well-played moves.
