For years, Ms. Kirchner worked with a regional firm. This experience allowed her the opportunity to work on the books of companies in numerous industries. She began working with managed care organizations in 1994 and has worked with them ever since. Her current work under the title, Kristin L. Kirchner, CFE, CPA was established in 1994, and focuses on small businesses, HMOs, IPAs, MSOs, hospitals, and small nonprofits.

Initially, Ms. Kirchner became involved in her profession because her grandfather was a banker who began as a bank teller and retired as the same bank’s president. He taught her how to balance a checkbook and pay bills at an early age. In five years, Ms. Kirchner hopes her fraud practice will grow to help elderly people avoid fraud in their homes as well as others in their businesses.
