With more than 30 years of rewarding experience in public accounting, including leading Transaction Advisory Services teams ranging in size from 5 to as many as 20 professionals at both Regional and Global firms , I have decided to take some time for myself and my family.While I have enjoyed the process of moving my team from a more regional platform to a national one, I have made the very difficult decision to withdraw from the partnership and we have amicably parted ways. I have the utmost respect for my partners and particularly for all of the wonderful team members I have had the pleasure to lead and mentor over the years.It goes without saying that I am also very grateful for my years of interaction with the many colleagues, clients and other business professionals with whom I have had the pleasure to work over the years. To be clear, I am not retiring!! I am simply taking a much needed sabbatical to contemplate what I wish to do with my remaining working years. I plan to take the summer to enjoy some time with my family, to travel and of course to spend some time on the golf course in my never ending quest to keep my handicap below zero. In any case, I look forward to enjoying the next few months and speaking with many of you more over the summer.
