They say a company is only as good as the person watching the bottom line. You’d think the top line would be the most important – after all, it’s on top – but it’s not. Regardless, the man Pavone has tasked with watching all of our lines is Al Kerchner, and we’re proud to announce that Al was recently named a finalist in the Central Penn Business Journal’s CFO of the Year awards.

Al has been Pavone’s controller for five years and, to us, he’s a lot more than just a Chief Financial Officer. (The ad below that ran in the Central Penn Business Journal explains that.) Al is the man who helps us all sleep better at night because we know our bottom line is being watched carefully. And with Al, who can be found in his office at all hours on some days, there’s a good chance he’s actually awake at 3 a.m. and watching that line.
