ARC has hired Valerie Mayer to assume the position and duties of Chief Financial Officer. Valerie comes to ARC with over 25 years of experience where she was last the CFO of Allied Physicians Group, a physician lead pediatric group with 35 locations. Valerie built the Allied Physicians Group’s accounting department from the ground up inclusive of all internal controls, transaction posting policies, submission policies, efficiency measures, and overall performance.
Valerie will be taking over for John Casale, who will stay on to transition the role to Valerie. Valerie will jump in feet first to help ARC continue to improve its accounting and finance capabilities and to build upon the organizational and operational efficiencies John Casale has instituted.
Valerie is a CPA and has a MBA from the Frank Zarb School of Accounting from Hofstra University. Valerie has been recognized as Long Island Business News’ “Top 50 Women in Business”.
Commenting on these changes, Mike Cavallaro, CEO of ARC said, “I am so excited to have Valerie join the team. She is super qualified and I believe that she will bring our accounting and finance functions to new heights. At the same time, I want to thank John Casale who over the last 18 months, brought organization and professionalism to our accounting and finance department. Due to some personal issues, John has stepped down from the CFO role, but has agreed to stay on to help get Valerie integrated into the role, but also to be a special advisor to ARC with a particular focus on our conversion to the accounting seed platform.”
