We were quite happy with Angel's leadership.  This was an extremely complex project, and at all points of the engagement we felt that we were important to MGO and the team.  It was a Herculean effort by the MGO team.

While under an extremely tight deadline with intense time pressure, MGO’s recent audit of Amyris’ financial statements was thorough, focused, and insightful. MGO clearly has the technical expertise and resources to respond to a firm as large and complex as Amyris, Inc., and provides the personal touch and attention that is unusual.

We can’t believe the difference in (the MGO) team’s professionalism and engagement.
