Fast-Tracker Lands Controller Position at Brown & Riding

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (DATE) - W. Cameron Kelly has stepped up to the Controller rung at Brown & Riding Insurance Services, Inc., the growing wholesale insurance brokerage headquartered in Los Angeles.

Less than one year ago, in September of 1999, Kelly signed-on as the Accounting Supervisor for B&R and, according to Chris Brown, President of Brown & Riding, soon after he was spearheading a major logistical advance in back office operations.

"Cameron has orchestrated key improvements in our accounting systems, financial reporting, record keeping, collections, compliance and more," says Brown. "Quite simply, his contributions this past year have proved tremendous for our bottom line."

"We're very fortunate to have the benefit of Cameron's A-Z experience and professionalism," says Brown. "With his personal leadership skills, determination to achieve goals, and his great sense for innovation, he has truly rounded-out our management team to the betterment of the entire company."

Kelly's promotion to Controller of B&R caps a rapid climb through the ranks of the insurance business. In 1994, he got his start as an accounting clerk with the American Acceptance Corp, eventually rising to the level of Senior Accounting Clerk.

In 1996, Unifax Insurance Systems, Inc. lured Kelly away from AAC. In his four years with UIS, Kelly advanced from a position as a production underwriter to eventual appointment as Regional Supervisor for UIS.

Brown & Riding, which states a commitment to serve carrier and broker clients by "delivering superior insurance products and solutions with the highest degree of integrity and professional service", will celebrate the 20th anniversary of its founding in October, 2000.
