How Robbie got here
Robbie Bittner was always strong at math. That skill initially had him on a path toward an engineering career. However, he also really wanted to be on the swim team at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill – which did not have an engineering program – so he decided to pursue accounting instead.
The four-year UNC Chapel Hill varsity men’s swimming diving team member turned auditor has spent the past decade creating quite a niche in the utilities space, specifically auditing municipal and nonprofit utility agencies in North Carolina and Georgia. His utility work has led to a thorough understanding of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s accounting method as well as the rules and regulations of the Rural Utilities Service.
How Robbie can help you
Robbie is passionate about helping people and businesses grow and succeed, while helping governments be efficient stewards of public funds. In addition to his energy and utility focus, he also works with state and local governments, nonprofits and commercial manufacturing.
His experience includes conducting audits, special purpose examinations, and internal control reviews for governmental and nonprofit entities, including cities, towns, counties, boards of education, higher education institutions, solid waste authorities, commercial manufacturing and transportation authorities along the East Coast. In addition, Robbie brings extensive knowledge leading federal grant audits and implementing new Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requirements.
