John Comuniello CEO/Owner of NextPhase Partners
Dave Grumer Founder of David Grumer CPA CMA
Dave Grumer Founder of David Grumer CPA CMA I have always considered it a privilege when clients give me the opportunity to see their books and records and offer suggestions for improvement. After my career of over forty years in public accounting I decided that it would be rewarding and challenging for me to get back to being of service to small and medium size businesses. My goal is to help businesses take control of their accounting processes and see forward. I am a graduate of Bernard M Baruch College of the City University of New York. I’m a CPA with a specialization in accounting and auditing and was a partner at a national accounting firm. I have also achieved the designation as a Certified Management Accountant. I learn about what counts to management, learn your accounting systems, and lead the group that produces financial data together as a team. I train. From this we provide timely information that will be used to communicate financial results and that supports planning for challenges that lie ahead. I have worked with professional services organizations and businesses in the securities industry. In addition, I’ve served businesses in residential and commercial real estate, retail, manufacturing, food and beverage, and more. I’ve served not-for-profit organizations at work and in leadership positions. I have spoken at New York State Society of CPAs and SIFMA (Securities Industry and Financial Management Association). To learn more about me and how I can help, write to me at daveg@davidgrumerconsulting.com or call.
