Dizon will lead the bookkeeping and accounting resources Acuity is adding outside of the United States. “We started adding international employees in Greece and the Philippines in our own back office and sales group about two years ago. With that working so well internally, we made the decision to add bookkeeping, tax and accounting resources through our partner, The Outsourced Accountant at the beginning of 2020,” says Matthew May, VP of Sales and Marketing of Acuity. “We have been searching for a leader of that group and Janine ran a team of 18 supporting over 250 clients. We are so lucky to have Janine and some of her team join us.”
