SAN JOSE, Calif. — As a credit union accountant for nearly three decades, Hal Carroll decided to put some of his observations into action by actually entering the credit union industry.
Approximately 100 days ago, Carroll took over as president and chief financial officer of $116 million San Jose Credit Union after doing credit union accounting for about 27 years, the last 18 as a partner at McGladrey & Pullen LLP and its previous merger partner O'Rourke, Sacher, & Moulton.
