ed mendlowitz is a shining example.
“over the years, he has shared a busy and successful career’s worth of insights and wisdom, and that alone would put the profession in his debt.
“but he has done much more — sharing so many useful templates, worksheets and checklists with literally tens of thousands of accountants; writing books and speaking publicly; and speaking privately, on an astonishingly regular basis, with fellow practitioners who call him for advice and counsel on everything from how to get through busy season to how to structure their firms to last a lifetime.
“his generosity and his desire to help his fellow cpas and accountants are prime examples of what makes accounting great.
“i can think of no other profession whose members give so much to one another, are so willing to share the secrets of their success, and do so much to raise up their fellows and burnish the reputation of their chosen field.”
