“Sandy’s expertise has guided our family business for nearly 30 years in matters of business practices, securing financing for growth strategies, and three generations of succession planning. She has challenged us to think outside the box not only as business owners but in our personal estate management. Her integrity is above reproach which makes it easy to refer others without hesitation. She has further exemplified this as we work together in the non-profit sector.
