“Our Not-for-Profit Group is well positioned to meet the unique needs of this sector and Ron’s expertise will complement the skills of our existing team,” Mitchell Lewis, WeiserMazars’ partner-in-charge, not-for-profit group said in a statement. “Ron’s hands-on experience in the not-for-profit field will provide us with additional insight into the unique accounting and management issues of clients in this space, allowing us to closely tailor our services to their needs.”
