Upon graduation from Walsh College and passing the CPA exam (first sitting) in 1975, he spent the next seven years of his career with Coopers & Lybrand, progressing to the level of Audit Manager.

Later, he managed 500 million in inventory, putting together appropriate incentive programs and coordinating production levels with demand.

Andary left Unisys in 1987 to join Automatic Data Processing (ADP). During his seven years at ADP, first as a Division Controller and then as a General Manager, he had the opportunity to develop the business management skills which have made ADP one of the best run companies in America.

John Andary left Syntel in 2001 to start his consulting practice. Since that time, he has served companies in both the public and private sectors, engaged in diverse assignments to include interim CFO services, regulatory compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley / NASDAQ / SEC, competitive environment evaluation, pre IPO positioning, and financial reporting systems overhaul.
