MICHAEL BOTTALA
Director, Strategic Insights
MindBridge
Known as one of the most innovative and giving accounting thinkers in the business, Michael Bottala co-authored a patent application for an innovative approach to quantifying the risk of material misstatements in traditional audits this past summer. But that’s just one example of his expertise and commitment.
For his clients, anywhere from small CPA firms to global audit methodology firm leaders, Bottala listens and collaborates with them to find the right approach that will enable them to do their jobs. He can take a client’s biggest pain point or complaint and within a matter of a few minutes come up with a completely new and innovative solution to the problem. Usually, each approach needs more refinement to calibrate it to the needs of the individual requestor. He is hyper-focused on how new approaches can often unlock efficiency or innovation that were never even contemplated in the past.
