Gary Greene said, “As I reflect on my public accounting journey, I am very grateful to the committed team that supported me throughout the years. Together, we have developed lasting relationships with the families that we have been honored to work with. The decision to join Windes as a partner was a natural step as we found common ground in our business cultures and the manner in which we both approach client service. Our clients will continue working with the same wonderful professionals they know and trust while also having the opportunity to work with new and talented individuals from Windes.
