BARRY W. BRAUN, CPA, is
a Partner in GR's Accounting & Auditing Division. His
experience in providing financial guidance to family-owned
and closely-held companies has earned him a reputation
as a respected and requested business advisor.
Barry began his career
at GR in 1978 as an audit partner. In July 2000, Barry
was elected Managing Partner. During his tenure at GR,
he has served on the Firm's executive and compensation committees,
as well as serving as CFO and Managing Partner. He has built a large practice
serving primarily manufacturing and distribution companies,
printers and publishers, law firms and high wealth individuals.
Under Barry's leadership,
many programs have been implemented to assure GR's successful
growth, to deliver excellent client service, and to
strengthen industry-niche expertise while aggressively
positioning the Firm in the market place. To achieve
GR's goal to be recognized as the best CPA firm in the
Delaware Valley serving middle-market companies, Barry
initiated a firm-wide "Good to Great" program.
Adapted from concepts presented in Jim Collins' book,
this program has become an integral part of the Firm's
ongoing strategic plan.
