"I write to offer my support as a character reference for Ms. Pacitti. I have known Stephanie for over 30 years since I arrived in Delaware as a DuPont employee in the early 1980s. Stephanie was my neighbor and would “house sit “for me as I traveled frequently for my career. As a young teenager, I found her trustworthy and diligent in caring for my pets or handling the mundane tasks of retrieving the mail or ensuring home lights were on during the evenings. As I often had the opportunity to interview young professionals seeking employment with DuPont, I can attest that Stephanie had the characteristics associated with being hired by a Fortune 100 company.
The skills and attributes she clearly demonstrated in launching her own business as a child care/day care operator add to my confidence she would be an excellent employee in any organization. While the specifics of the rules and regulations pertaining to child care are not my area of expertise, I submit that her organizational, leadership and financial skills are examples of her business prowess. The day to day mechanics can vary for differing specific tasks or industries. The overall skills and attributes were quite natural for Stephanie and she exhibited those skills in her business careers as well as in her personal life. She clearly knows how to balance the work-life reality of today’s workforce and expectations of any employer.
Recently, as Board President of Trustees for my church, I consulted with Stephanie and asked her insights as it pertained to our church and a day care operation. The basic business issues of profit and loss, cash flow, earnings and taxation were all parts of our discussions. Her overall knowledge was quite useful and aided our Board in making final decisions.
Thus, it is my hope you will consider Stephanie for a position in your organization.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Stephanie for 3 years. At the time I met Stephanie I was
the Director of Operations for a mid-size property management company in Wilmington, DE. I
hired Stephanie as our Property Accountant. Stephanie fell right into the position in short time.
Once settled in with the knowledge of how our Property Managers worked with our customers,
and how we tracked finances/budgets for our customers properties, Stephanie began to implement
programs and processes that streamlined how we did business.
Stephanie presented a process to take our customers financial records & payment processing to a
paperless system. Her process made it easier for anyone in the office to find information on a
payment inquiry within the payment approval process. She also helped the Property Managers
present to our customers an easier process of tracking & presenting financial data through
QuickBooks. Her knowledge of QuickBooks and other property management software made the
processing of accounts payable & accounts receivable effortless.
I have always found Stephanie to be enthusiastic and committed to the organization. She is
educated, professional and responsible in all aspects of her work. She is collaborative and open to
suggestions when looking for solutions to a problem. Stephanie is a creative thinker who clearly
sees the organization’s mission. She not only carries out her defined job responsibilities, but she
also takes the initiative to expand the scope of her position, to seize opportunities to provide new
or improved services. Stephanie made my job easier."

" I have known Stephanie Pacitti for over 40 years. Her career professionally has had a few faces. I interacted with her while she was with Advanced HVAC, Inc for over 10 years. She was the face of the company, appearing at trade shows, providing back office support- even answering the phones. Shortly after, she started a Learning Center for little ones. We did some business together during my 17 year career as a financial advisor. I also volunteered at her school teaching the kids about money and the power of saving. It was great to see Stephanie in that environment. She has a unique leadership talent utilizing a calm demeanor with encouragement but also with accountability-a rare combination. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious. She did a great job on social media growing the business and had the support of the local community. I have always known Stephanie to have the highest integrity and would highly recommend her as an asset to any business."

"I have known Stephanie for about 25 years. I have been both a supplier and a customer in her two businesses. My first contact with Stephanie was when I represented York International, a major equipment manufacturer; and I sold to the mid sized HVAC company that she jointly owned with her husband. I suspected that the company was mismanaged, but the full extent of the mismanagement only came to light when Stephanie's husband would be absent for extended periods of time, leaving her in charge. Stephanie dramatically improved every aspect of the company including inventory management, installation and service scheduling, equipment ordering, employee dispatching, and especially finance. Everything that makes a company successful. She was excellent at marketing the business and the front person at many trade shows. In short order she turned a struggling company into a profitable, best practice, money making machine. A number of years later (after their divorce), Stephanie opened a Day Care Center. I needed childcare for my favorite granddaughter and brought my granddaughter to her center. I had seen Stephanie as an underused, unappreciated partner; but in her daycare I got to see her as the owner of a business she started. She was quite impressive. She had designed and furnished a large facility from scratch. And while her love of children was obvious in the center's layout and programs, underneath all that was a very efficient business that scrupulously followed best practices. Every time I thought that I understood Stephanie, she has surprised me by showing another level of competence. Her intelligence is evenly balanced with her common sense which is uncommon in people. Stephanie is dedicated, imaginative, resourceful, thorough, a good friend to everyone and a pleasure to do business with"

Controller at AMA from February 2019 to April 2023. During her four-year tenure with us, she played
a crucial role in managing our financial operations through the QuickBooks software program.

complex accounting functions. She was responsible for overseeing our Accounts Receivable (AR)
and Accounts Payable (AP) processes and skillfully managed these functions within QuickBooks,
streamlining our AR and AP workflows.
Her experience with QuickBooks extended beyond routine transactions. She was responsible for
generating detailed financial reports, including monthly, quarterly, and annual statements.
Stephanie utilized QuickBooks’ reporting features to produce insightful analyses that were crucial
for our clients financial planning and budget development. Her ability to customize reports to meet
specific clients’ needs demonstrated her in-depth knowledge of the software.
Beyond these core responsibilities, Stephanie also managed bank reconciliations, ensuring that all
accounts were accurately balanced. Additionally, she played a key role in budget forecasting,
where she leveraged QuickBooks' tools to develop accurate and reliable financial forecasts.
Stephanie is highly proficient in QuickBooks and used the software to its full potential to support
our financial goals. Her attention to details, combined with her long tenured experience with
QuickBooks makes her an asset to any QuickBooks operating organization."
