Rich Traugott, BA, CPA, CMA

Rich is passionate about a lot of Things!  His love of people and desire to understand and help them led him to earn a BA in Psychology from UBC in 1996.  He has an industrious nature and entrepreneurial spirit and he realized early on that a great way to help people was through business, by helping to empower them through skill development and employment.  Rich enhanced his interest for all aspects of business with a CPA/CMA designation in 2012.  

For more than 25 years, Rich has driven all facets of many different businesses ranging in organizational structure and size from 1 to 425 people in several industries, implementing and managing strategic planning, operational efficiency, human resources, risk management, and with an emphasis over the past 12 years on financial management.  Rich has founded and run three small businesses to bring them from inception to fruition, developing corporate culture and building relationships with stakeholders.  A fearlessness to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty along with an innate curiosity and attention to detail make Rich a good observer and listener as he seeks to learn about the mud on clients’ boots and how he can best apply his broad business knowledge and experience to benefit and fit with specific clients’ needs and abilities.
