Partner since 1998

Eleanor founded the firm in 1998 after twelve years in a Big Four tax practice, because she wanted to know her clients by name. She leads the firm's work for medical and dental practices, construction companies and family-owned businesses.

Clients describe her as direct: she tells you what you owe before you owe it, and what to do about it. She sits on the NYSSCPA's closely held business committee and teaches a yearly course on practice buy-ins.
