MindComet Welcomes Drew Rogers as New CFO

Drew Rogers, a Florida Certified Public Accountant, comes to MindComet with 14 years of varied and diverse experience in accounting and finance. Upon receiving his Masters of Science in Accounting from the University of Florida, Rogers began working in the tax department of one of the Big Six accounting firms in Orlando, Florida. After 2 years in Orlando, Rogers moved to Miami, Florida to continue his work in Public accounting for another year and a half, where he was exposed to a wide variety of clients and accounting and tax issues. Rogers gained invaluable experience in the accounting and finance arena.

The next stop for Rogers was as Tax Manager at the corporate headquarters of Bairnco Corporation; a $200 million multinational company traded on the New York Stock Exchange (BZ). While fulfilling his responsibilities of domestic and international tax planning and compliance for Bairnco, Rogers’ six years with the company also involved him in SEC reporting and many other aspects of accounting and auditing for a large, publicly-held company. It was here that Rogers acquired his skills for budgeting and forecasting of operations, analytical review of the results of operations, "best use" practices for the accounting department and other departments within the organization, and planning and financial modeling for acquisitions and dispositions.

Rogers next became Manager of Treasury at Gencor Industries, Inc., another large, multinational company traded on the American Stock Exchange (GX). Rogers was in charge of both the Treasury department and the Credit and Collection department for Gencor. His roles included overall cash management for the company, providing daily and weekly cash monitoring reports to management, and cash forecasting. He was also a key player in maintaining the company's banking relationships and monitoring company compliance with bank credit agreements and covenants. Rogers was also tasked with acquisition due diligence work, the negotiation and sale of unprofitable divisions, negotiation and resolution of tax and operations analysis for Board of Directors meetings.

Immediately prior to joining MindComet, Rogers was CFO of a small flower importing business. This experience gave him valuable training in running the day to day operations of a small business, and the unique challenges that a small business presents -- especially in the area of cash management, forecasting growth, and surviving the constant ups and downs of small business.These various roles at both large and small companies have given Rogers a well-rounded background and unique skill set to handle the many aspects associated with the financial management of MindComet including taxes, auditing, operations, treasury and cash management, forecasting, budgeting, and reporting results of operations.

In addition to his financial accounting skills, Rogers is very interested and well trained in computers and computer systems. He enjoys and embraces technology and the freedom and power it provides. Other interests include softball, physical fitness and scuba diving. Mr. Rogers is happily married and has 3 children ages 8, 5 and 2. He grew up in Ormond Beach, Florida and has lived in the Central Florida area for 12 years.
