About the President

Julie Harrer, CPA

Having a flair for excelling in difficult times was the key to Ms. Harrer’s success as the project manager for Qualcomm’s Section 404 project; Qualcomm was the first company in the world to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. She has since managed several other Section 404 projects gaining a broad perspective on process improvement and best practices.

Prior to her Sarbanes-Oxley experience Ms. Harrer worked as a Vice President of Finance and Controller for various companies in San Diego in the high-tech, manufacturing and biotech industries. In addition to this, her years in public accounting provided the technical background she uses to succeed in the financial arena.
