With over 15+ years of experience he spearheaded the company operations, forging the foundations of Entigrity that works closely and exclusively with the accounting community.

Shawn understood numerous staffing related challenges plaguing the accounting community.
Over the time, he has provided consultation/advice to 3000+ accountants and helped them convert some of their core challenges into opportunities.
Shawn’s is a big advocate of small businesses, He says “Small Businesses are backbone for global economy”and that’s where his focus area was always to help small and mid-size accounting firms.
In Fact the Idea of Entigrity was born out of the fact that Shawn wanted to help small and mid-size firms by providing them access to global staffing and help them compete with Big 4 and larger firms. Shawn really admires businesses that create or facilitate the creation of micro entrepreneurs like UBER, AIRBNB, Urban Company etc.
These Small and Mid-Size firms cannot come to India and build their own offices as they don't have the deep pockets as of Big 4 firms. And also it would be difficult for them to handle local challenges and attract the talent pool. So they need a trusted partner, a partner who can hire the right people for them, understand their requirements and also can handle the data security confidentiality.
