Gettry Marcus CPA holds three events in November

Three important events for Gettry Marcus CPA, P.C. took place in the first week of November as it continues to make strides with its "Firm of the Future, Today" initiatives. Steve Marcus, managing partner at the firm, joined with other Long Island business leaders, as a panelist at the "HIA-LI Executive Breakfast - A CEO Perspective - What it takes to Thrive and Survive in the LI Economy" that took place on Nov. 7th. Marcus spoke about his message to create change, and that his firm had instituted a strategic planning initiative, which served as a guideline as they redefine the culture of the firm. The firm recently restructured its operations as a result of a re-branding campaign. Mark Warshavsky, partner-in-charge of the firm's business valuation and litigation services group, one of the largest in the New York metro area, presented, "Drafting Business Valuation and Buy-Sell Provisions - for New York Closely held Limited Liability Companies," on Nov. 4th, to an audience of 80 attorneys, sponsored by the NYS Bar Association, at the Marriott in Melville. The entire firm, from both of Gettry Marcus's offices, met for a day-long meeting on Nov. 6th. The meeting included a recap of some of the firm's achievements for the current year and more importantly, the direction for 2014. Highlights of the meeting included a roll out of the firm's enhanced training programs and how the firm was involving staff in major areas of the practice, as well as a presentation on the firm's new, modern office space. Marcus believes that "workplace helps define culture" and should be used as a resource for staff and clientele.
