Speaker's bio: 

Trent Krassow helps organizations with a variety of strategic, financial, and risk management matters. Trent's career has spanned multiple industries, including credit and lending, insurance and risk management, healthcare, real estate, and taxation, as well as teaching at both the secondary and post secondary levels, and he has relished the opportunity to learn from each of these experiences. He is currently the Principal of Greypeak Accounting and Consulting.

While there are many tools that a finance professional needs, Trent believes the two most important are actually questions: we must keep asking "Why" until we truly get to the root of a matter, and we must always ask "How". Combining these two questions with strong analytical acumen and solid financial fundamentals can open doors for finance teams to provide meaningful leadership and impact for the organizations that employ them.

Trent received his Bachelor of Science in Business and Natural Sciences from Southern Nazarene University, a Masters of Business Administration from the same institution, and a second Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Management from Park University. He holds the CMA, ARM, ARe, and EA designations.
