Since then, I've stayed with him every year because he is extremely thorough, detail oriented, and professional. The entire process is always smooth, seamless, and stress free.

I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

I recently hired Steve to help me in transitioning back into corporate America from being an…read moreindependent consultant. I was hired by a large technology company in a sales strategy role that aligned with my previous work experience and was also completing my second Master's degree - in Organizational Development. I wanted to find a role combining strategy and operations with organizational development. As I was progressing in my role and getting asked to take on more responsibilities in sales strategy, Steve pushed me to think about my values and what I really wanted for myself. He helped me uncover a major internal roadblock that was holding me back from going after what I really wanted as I was trying to figure out my dream job. Steve encouraged me to create the job description of my dreams and take action to achieve the new role. I ended up leaving the large tech company and am now doing very fulfilling work in organization development. Steve provided me the space to be 100% myself, ask for what I want, and he helped hold me accountable for making it a reality. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs support as they take on the hard work to transform their life and career.

He goes above and beyond by looking at prior years and making amendments if necessary to put you in a better position for future tax years.

One of this company's best assets is encouraging open lines of communication, which is to say that the staff is able to both skillfully convey information and listen to (and understand) the parties with whom they interact. One often overlooked offshoot of effective communication involves eliciting feedback from the hiring clients. Gerard Group is fully aware of the importance of this feedback and always tries to secure this information for its job seekers so that they may be in a better position to market themselves for future job opportunities. Whenever I need to look for a new job, I make sure that Gerard Group is among the first who I call.
