OK, we’ll go out on a limb here and say it: Accountants have a reputation for being, well, not the most interesting characters. Days spent hunched over spreadsheets. Lots of numbers. You know, grinders – as in all work and no play. Well, inside these pages, there are some rather interesting characters drawn from the Business Journal’s annual list of largest Valley-area accounting firms who belie that image. Consider button-downed Tony Rose at Rose Snyder & Jacobs. He’s authored two business-advice books. Or Vincent Leoni, the new partner at Miller Kaplan Arase LLP. He’s rubbed shoulders with all kinds of celebrities helping them get their fair share of royalties. Andrew “Drew” Grey has served as a C-Suite executive at client companies as part of SRG’s business strategy. All in all, we profile 10 CPAs who may have you reconsidering your preconceptions.
