Steady Hands, Strong Minds Edition

Ah, late July in Houston—when the AC runs 24/7, your dashboard says it feels like 112°, and half the office is either on vacation or “working remotely” with suspiciously beachy backgrounds on Zoom.

This edition of TG Trusted Talent features professionals who don’t wilt in the heat or fumble under pressure. Whether you need help with reporting, reconciliation, AP fire drills, or just someone who can walk in, smile, and get things done—we've got talent who thrives where others sweat.
