Hayles and Howe's US Financial Manager keeps H&H on the front line of professional opportunities in the construction industry.  Joselin R Martin is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and is an active member of the Maryland Association of CPAs (MACPA). She currently serves on the MACPA Board of Directors, as a member (and immediate past chair) of the Business and Industry Committee, and as an appointed representative to the Governing Council of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).  In these roles, she stays current on professional issues, develops relationships with her peers, and represents not only the MACPA but H&H to state and national elected representatives.  Joselin was also in the first group to receive the CGMA (Chartered Global Management Accountants) designation, a joint venture of the AICPA and CIMA.

For construction-related issues, Joselin has been active in the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA), ultimately earning her Certified Construction Industry Financial Professional (CCIFP) designation.  The CCIFP requires past and continuing education, work experience, and successful completion of an extensive exam covering not only accounting and reporting, but also legal, technology, risk management, and human resource issues in construction.  Joselin is the current vice-chairman of the Institute for Certified Construction Industry Financial Professionals (ICCIFP), the organization that oversees the CCIFP designation. The annual CFMA conference is 3 days of connecting with national peers, learning best practices, and previewing the latest technology.

Through active association membership, Joselin keeps the US finances running so the craft professionals can do what they do best: make the highest quality product in the plastering industry!
