OCBJ ARTICLE: THE CRITICAL ROLE OF A CPA FIRM IN BANK FINANCING
Debbie Dickson recently wrote an article in the Orange County Business Journal in the "Banking & Finance" special supplement. Here is an excerpt from the article:
A proactive, knowledgeable and well connected CPA firm can make a major impact on the ability of a company to obtain bank financing. Recently a $30 million company was declined a renewal of its working capital line of credit and term loan due to failure to meet its required ratio covenants. Management had tried to find replacement financing through a loan broker but had been unsuccessful. Smith Dickson CPAs were called upon to make introductions and to arrange this critical financing.
FIRM NEWS -- A MUSICAL GEM
Debbie Dickson's love of music, especially playing the organ, is well-known among most of her friends and clients. In a recent article in the "Old Towne Orange Plaza Review," Debbie and her daughter Brooke Dickson were noted in an interesting article about a 1938 pipe organ at a local mortuary. Shannon Family Mortuary is a client of Smith Dickson and several months ago while visiting Debbie learned about the organ, hidden away upstairs and unused. Debbie encouraged the owners to restore the instrument, as they have also been doing restoration on the 102 year old building and its contents.
