Irv Bisnov has had a front-row seat to the sea change that has swept over the U.S. financial industry the last 20 years.

While working as an accountant for Deloitte in Dallas in 1988, he audited insolvent Texas lenders that were being prepared for sale in the wake of the S&L crisis.He later worked for Amresco Management Inc., a unit of NCNB Corp. that led the Charlotte-based bank's entry into Texas, a key step in the creation of Bank of America Corp.

After 12 years in Deloitte posts in Washington, Bisnov has taken the reins as managing partner of the accounting firm's 70-employee, locally based Carolinas practice.He's taking over for Michael Baker, who remains in Charlotte to focus on Deloitte's top clients.

Bisnov, 43, steps in at the Deloitte operation at a time of tremendous change.The accounting and consulting industry is still feeling the fallout from the Enron Corp. scandal, which led to the implosion of Arthur Andersen four years ago.

In an interview this week, Bisnov discussed his plans for the Deloitte practice, his view of his new community and his goals for getting involved.
