 Joseph
R. Caplan, CPA has been in the ABL profession
since 1985 as a field examiner, audit manager,
ABL per diem examiner, seminar instructor and
entrepreneur.
Mr. Caplan is a graduate
of Drexel University in Philadelphia, with a
dual degree in accounting and finance.
After graduation, Mr. Caplan served in Public
accounting with Laventhol & Horwath, having
duties extended to include computer graphics
publishing for financial statements and computer
training for newly hired staff.
After several years at Barclays American Business
Credit (became Fleet Capital Corp. and is now
Bank of America Business Capital), as a field
examiner, Mr. Caplan became the Audit Manager
at Perpetual Savings Bank, FSB, managing a portfolio
with $250MM of ABL transactions and $900MM of
commercial loans.
As the
S&L crisis emerged, Perpetual Savings Bank,
FSB became the first account in Mr. Caplan's
former per diem field examination practice on
6/15/90. That practice evolved into Capital
Acquisition Professionals, Inc. (CAPi).
Some of the larger transactions have included
turnarounds and spin-offs from companies such
as 3M, Forstman Little, Quanex, EECO, VF Corporation,
Nichols Homeshield, G-Tech, Pinkerton, and others.
The largest transaction handled to date has
been for $300,000,000 of secured lines.
Mr. Caplan's focus has been only Asset Based
Lending related and not traditional Accounting
services such as: taxes, CPA audits, reviews,
compilations, financial planning, insurance,
mutual funds, Etc.
When starting
the per diem practice, Mr. Caplan conducted
several local seminars in and around Baltimore,
Maryland to help banks understand the needs
of Asset Based Lending. The success of
these presentations allowed Mr. Caplan to develop
other seminars including: Cash Flow Analysis
for Asset Based Loans and the Intermediate ABL
Audit Seminar under the company name of
Clear Choice Seminars,
Inc. The course materials are
written by Mr. Caplan, with programming, sound
files, video and some animations also done by
Mr. Caplan. Mr. Caplan also participates
as a member of the Adobe Design Board for the
Adobe CS eLearning Suite and has served as a
speaker at the annual Adobe Learning Summit.
In January of 1996, Mr. Caplan started
FinSoft, LLC,
a software consulting Company that developed
AssetWriter field examination software,
AssetReader aging analysis software and
AssetArchive data warehousing and analytics
for real-time fraud prevention. FinSoft,
LLC also provides custom software solutions, as well as database
development and maintenance in Oracle, Access,
PC Anywhere, DB2, SQL, ODBC and other client/server
or embedded database solutions.
Mr. Caplan holds
several copyrights on written materials, course
materials, white papers and software designs.
