Testimonials

“John Minnich is an intelligent businessman and experienced educator, as a Chief Financial Officer and as a University Professor. I have known John for several years. He has integrated a diverse set of skills to develop an essential resume. I am also impressed with the level of John’s activity across Fort Wayne, giving back to the community as a Board Member at various organizations including Junior Achievement.”

“John is someone I trust, and someone that I know will represent the quality of work that adds value and improves upon what has previously been done.”

“It is rare to find someone as knowledgeable and dedicated to their work as John Minnich. During my time at Indiana Tech, John demonstrated that he was dedicated to helping those that are around him; students, the university, the business community, and not-for-profit organizations in the area. As I continued into my professional career, John and I crossed paths on a local Board we both serve on, and he selfishly agreed to help guide me through some professional development and career placement. I would recommend John to any of my colleagues when it comes to learning more or developing their skillset in the field of accounting and business strategy.”
