Robert Mayer, Mayer CPAs LLP
What was your most notable project, deal, transaction or personal achievement in 2014?
The best thing that happened to Mayer CPAs was moving our Long Island Office to a new space in Woodbury. We are proud to have clients visit us in the new, upgraded space. Regardless of the growth, the Firm is still large enough to serve (especially with the capabilities offered by being an independent member of the BDO Alliance USA), yet small enough to have personal relationships with clients.
What are you looking forward to accomplishing in 2015?
This year, we began the process of moving all of our software to the cloud in anticipation of increasing efficiency and client service, especially for tax season. It will allow greater accessibility as we continue to strive to service our clients proactively.
What are some of your real estate predictions for 2015?
I believe that real estate will be a great investment opportunity before interest rates start to rise.
