Tim O'Hara

As a problem solver, I utilize an advisory approach during all phases of the decision process from planning to final delivery. This ensures each client's value-based needs are met and expectations are exceeded. Through IT consulting, IT operations management, and IT advisory services I act as a trusted advisor focused on maximizing my client's return on investment through win-win value-based IT solutions. These data solutions continuously improve the efficiency and effectiveness of clients’ business operations using the best solution ranging from Cloud services, IT backup and recovery, premise or cloud infrastructure, security, and collaboration.

Some applications that support client solutions include Skype for Business, Azure, Office 365, SharePoint, and Power BI. My clients include C-Level Executives in Finance, Operations, and IT cycles of Fortune 500 and mid-sized named accounts. The industries supported include financial services, manufacturing, retail, business services, non-profits and consumer goods, telecommunications, media, and government.

The foundation of my experience is CPA, CGMA, and Internal Control Certifications where I mastered transaction processing (Order-To-Cash, Purchase-to-Pay, etc.), financial reporting, business information exchanges (B2B, B2C, B2G, G2G), and fraud. I use these skills, and knowledge to enable my clients to transform and innovate their operations over time.

Other specialties include identifying new business opportunities, gap analysis, and helping clients find the best integrated IT solutions with a win-win focus. I also train and mentor peers and partners while effectively and persuasively communicating within all levels of an organization.

In addition to providing IT consulting services, I have spoken and published articles on Big Data, Data Warehouse Testing & Monitoring, Analytics, and Information Risk Audit & Control, including the COSO 2013 Internal Control Framework, and how IT is impacted by this framework.
