On March 1, 2017, Mark J. Keeley accepted the appointment to be the Chief Financial Officer of First Foods Group, Inc. (the “Company”). On March 1, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to appoint Mr. Keeley as the Chief Financial Officer.

 

MARK J. KEELEY is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who began his career in public accounting with KPMG LLP in August 1985, after graduating Summa Cum Laude from the University of Massachusetts with Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and Computer Science. He obtained a Master’s Degree in Finance from Boston College in May 1988 and continued his public accounting career at Coopers and Lybrand LLP in September 1990 and was admitted to the Partnership when Coopers & Lybrand LLP merged with Price Waterhouse LLP to become PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in October 1988. He retired from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) in July 2014. From April 2015 through November 2016 he served as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Bradley, Foster & Sargent, Inc.; a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and SEC registrant with over $3B of assets under management.

 

Mr. Keeley is a qualified audit committee financial expert and one of the first holders of the Certified Information Technology Professional (CITP) designation granted by the American Institute of Public Accountants (AICPA). He has applied his accounting, financial management and information technology experience to a broad range of national and international companies, including the development of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for the restaurant and restaurant franchise industry.

 

He has regularly worked with the highest levels of senior management, boards of directors, external auditors, investors, and regulators to build consensus and reach a common understanding of complex financial matters. He has testified to the United States Congress regarding financial accounting and auditing aspects of the U.S. Federal Government and served as PwC’s representative to Congressman Mr. Michael Conaway.
