There is still room for Dinosaurs!


Old guys with years of experience have a lot to share! Those who have flown a desk and swung a wrench have even more!

My name is Dan Elliot, and I am a Professional Accountant with over twenty years of front-line experience in administrative, mechanical and emergency services environments.

 In addition to being an Accountant at the Comptroller level, I served as a military aircraft mechanic, and worked as an operations manager with a vocational training program in the penitentiary system, where we manufactured goods for re-sale as part of this important reintegration program.

  I also served as a volunteer fire-Fighter and search and rescue member, where I achieved the rank of Captain in the fire service, and Search Manager and Team Leader in Search and Rescue.

I combine my education and experience to provide you a rounded approach to mentorship and teaching.

In addition to being available for in-person and on-line training and coaching, I have a number of Forward Looking Guides availiable on Amazon Kindle along with the first of the Beancounter Series of fun fictional business stories which are based on real events. For our guides and stories, please visit our Amazon Kindle author account Amazon.com: Daniel W Elliot CPA CGA: Books, Biography, Blog, Audiobooks, Kindle or go to Amazon Kindle and search for Daniel W Elliot.

In addition to books and guides, we have been publishing on-line courses on Udemy; we have started with Accounting topics, are now adding Human Resources subjects, and will soon be offering operational themes such as contingency planning. Please visit Udemy and search for Daniel W. Elliot. 

I look forward to working with you!
