He also works with the Council on Governmental Relations, "an important sponsored research administrators group...as an audit advisor, in a sense," Barone says.
At 36, Barone is still young and says he does not consider his current job a "career position." He says that in the future he would like to pursue financial management.
"That's as far as my mind will stretch," Barone says. "Just take that in a positive light."
Clearly, he likes his job. In an interview this week, Barone volunteered to lend his auditors to any independent student agency, including Harvard Student Agencies and The Crimson.
For now, at least, he says he is happy with his life just the way it is happy with his life just the way it is.
"I'm satisfied in the context of the situation," Barone says. "It's been an excellent opportunity."
