Harvey A. Goldstein CPA
a former partner of Singer Lewak Greenbaum and Goldstein LLP
and the managing partner of the firm for over 30 years is now available to consult with personal service organizations (CPA firms, consulting firms, law firms etc.)
Unlike most consultants who are entrenched in management theory and who have never managed an organization Harvey Goldstein has spent his entire career in management.
Harvey
is not only known as an expert in professional firm management but he is also considered an expert of marketing professional organizations.
He started with SLGG when there were 5 employees and turned over his management responsibilities 30 years later with well over 200 personnel.
Harvey
was know by his partners as direct, decisive and fair.
During his career he has experienced just about all events any professional firm can experience:
1. Writing and of course rewriting partnership agreements.
2. Development of partnership compensation systems.
3. Developing and implementing marketing programs.
4. Hiring and dismissing partners.
5. Methods of splitting the pie.
6. Dealing with partners leaving the firm.
7. Partner retirement systems both funded and unfunded.
8 Succession planning.
9. Firm financial planning.
10. Dealing with partners while on long term disability.
11. Partners leaving and taking clients.
12. Lawsuits to and fro.
When discussing consulting Goldstein says “ Many consultants spend a lot of time dealing with non issues. I’ve seen it many times. They bring the partners together and discuss management theory, personality traits a lot of stuff that is usually forgotten within a day or two after their meeting. It has no real world application.”
“Because of my background and real world experience I can cut to the chase. I don’t need to spend a lot of time on nonsense. I can probably tell you what’s wrong within the organization before I meet with the partners. Partnership issues are universal.”
“Most partnerships just need someone independent to guide them through problem solving, goal and strategy development, organizational structuring and a decision making process.”
