"Get the CPA exam behind you as soon as you can after college. Do not be afraid to go outside of your comfort zone."
Why did you decide to attend Saunders College of Business at RIT?
I chose Saunders College of Business for its reputation within the Rochester business community. I also chose Saunders for the opportunity/requirement to gain work experience through internships prior to graduation. Having relevant experience before you graduate is more of a must-have today, and RIT’s relationships with its business partners set it apart from other reputable universities.
What Do You Do?
I am a tax partner within the Rochester commercial team. I co-lead our talented group of tax professionals and am very involved in training, recruiting, and working with our team to establish processes and procedures to be highly technical, effective, and efficient in helping our clients.
What should current students know about Saunders?
Saunders has very engaging professors that truly generate excitement within the accounting and tax profession. Philip Gelsomino, in particular, is invigorating to current and former students alike.
