Singleton said companies share their financial records with him in order to review and advise chief financial officers.

"I tailor a version of (my) seminar to fit their financial statements ... to make it very custom to the company," Singleton said.

At the university level, Singleton said he uses his seminar to share real world experience with his students.

"I bring all that stuff back to my classes (and) I can tell them what's going on because so many of our students will go to work for companies like (the one's I consult for) when they graduate."

2006 graduate Sarah Masoom took an intermediate accounting class with Singleton in fall 2005 and described Singleton as one of the best professors she has ever had.

"Instead of just crunching numbers, Professor Singleton endeavored to apply what we learned in class to the real world," Masoom wrote in an e-mail last week. "Therefore, I was not only able to learn how to apply certain concepts, but I also learned when and why I would apply what I learned in the future."
