About

A CPA who has sat on the HQ side, too

Peter Lee

Peter Lee (Lee Gyubum)

Deputy CEO · Seyeon Accounting Corp.

I spent my career on both sides of the table: as an auditor and advisor, and as the finance lead inside a foreign subsidiary reporting to headquarters. I know what HQ needs to see, and what local teams need to get it done.
