What is an SEC knowledgeable attorney? What is an SEC qualified CPA's? Why is it possessive?
I believe the answer to your questions are: 1.) An SEC knowledgeable attorney aka an attorney that specializes in securities law, rather than specializing in something like maritime or real estate. 2.) A SEC qualified CPA might be the fact the CFO is a CPA that also acts as an expert witness for the SEC.
Mr. Shively holds a Doctorate in Education as well as a Ph.D. in Corporate Law and is considered by many to be an expert in business development, fiscal management and corporate compliance, with over 26 years’ experience in business development, helping over 500 clients develop their business entities.
With an early beginning in upper management in the fast food industry, followed by a private practice in accounting and corporate compliance. In the past ten years has served on the board of over a dozen nonprofit and forprofit entities and been involved in the formation of hundreds of corporations. Paul is a recognized Expert Witness in the Los Angeles Superior Court system and guest instructor in area universities as an expert in corporate formation.
Paul has vast experience in taxation, nonprofit strategies, trademarks, corporate compliance and business acquisitions, as well as serving as Business Manager for persons in the entertainment industry. His experience in sales tax administration has resulted in two successful Administrative Court decisions that resulted in changes in sales tax collection.
In the Education Field, he served as CFO/Clinical Director of a Foster Care and Gang Intervention program under contract with Los Angeles County Probation and authored educational tests such as” The Rage Within”, an anger management program for teens (which is still used in some are Adolescent Mental Health units), in addition to “Parenting 101” and the “Life on My Own“ primer for foster youth emancipating from foster care, all while supervising a staff of eleven people and 300 youth.
As a result of this program involvement, Paul and his wife, Kathy have raised nine foster children. Paul founded Pizza Bakers, a fivestore chain built from acquiring vacant pizza shop locations and implementation of “Fast Bake” pizza technology; as well as Bankcard Service Center, a merchant credit card processor; and Epayroll Network (one of the first online payroll systems). Each of these companies was acquired by larger competitors.
In addition, I believe you'll find after the sale of the shell, the corporate offices were temporarily moved to the CFO's location in the San Fernando Valley.
