Russ Hissom, CPA

I am passionate about the electric, water, wastewater, gas, and broadband business! I work with electric co-ops and utilities in helping them improve efficiencies in accounting and reporting, cost of service and rate development, training, and business processes.

My goal is to share what I have learned about industry best practices in serving your organization. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn more about the issues you want to address in your organization and how I can help you remedy those challenges.

Works with co-ops and utilities across the US and Canada
Presenter and instructor for American Public Power (APPA), American Waterworks Association (AWWA), Edison Electric Institute (EEI), American Gas Association (AGA), and state industry organizations
Experience includes rate studies, FERC accounting implementation, business process reviews, and expert witness testimony before FERC, state commissions, and in arbitration proceedings
