你的榜样是谁?
我真的没有榜样. 没有人是完美的, I look for the best in people and try to live my life by demonstrating those same attributes.
你童年的梦想是什么?
As a child, I figured I’d join the Marines – then I realized there was too much cardio involved!
If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your college self?
你一个人是做不来的. 大多数情况下都是团队的一部分. Know your strengths, respect the opinion of others and always insist on doing the right thing.
What is the best or most interesting thing about your career?
At the beginning of my career, I learned a lot about public accounting while at a national firm. I learned more about the business and the value of good relationships when I came to Schneider Downs.
你有“座右铭”吗?”
The only person you need to be better than is the person you were yesterday.
When you have an hour of free time, what do you like to do?
I have two bird dogs that I love to run and point – so I take them to the fields. There is very little I find more satisfying than watching them work.
你对年轻的专业人士有什么建议吗?
True wealth happens with persistence, perseverance and the drive to be the best at what you do.

Big Problem: 耗时的计费流程.
Big Thinking: Utilize Robotic Process Automation To Reduce Manual Input Time By 75%.
Shareholder PATRICK ARMKNECHT 在施耐德唐斯工作了21年. His expertise lies mainly in corporate accounting, project management and software implementation.
One of Patrick’s clients was looking for more efficient back-office operations. Patrick’s team recommended the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology to help address their billing problem. 在实现RPA技术之后, manual time spent completing the monthly billing process was reduced by 75%.
“Although the immediate need was focused on the monthly billing process, we recognized that investment in RPA would also enable the client to automate a number of processes throughout their organization,” Patrick said. “They have already implemented five other automation projects in different parts of the organization and have a list of more than 20 other processes they intend to automate in the near future.”
Schneider Downs provides Big Thinking and Personal focus in delivering a variety of services for large and small businesses, 公开和私人持有, 以及非营利组织, 政府机构等.
