Schwartz Deepens LarsonAllen’s Credit Union Practice
MINNEAPOLIS—March 24, 2010—Greg Schwartz has joined LarsonAllen as a principal with the credit union practice, an industry the firm has been serving since the late 1970s. He will focus on delivering audit and consulting services to credit union clients.
“Greg will be an important part of our practice as we continue expanding our services to credit unions across the nation,” says Rich Gabrielson, financial institutions principal with LarsonAllen. “His industry-recognized expertise and experiences with credit unions in almost every state will allow us to develop service offerings for organizations in new markets.”
The additions of Schreiner, Legge & Company in Washington DC and Ganum, Meder, Childers, & Hoering in St. Louis have added to the rich history of LarsonAllen’s credit union practice, ranked second nationally amongst CPA firms serving credit unions with more than $40 million in assets. With a long-term commitment to the field, LarsonAllen’s practice will continue to grow with the addition of Schwartz.
He was formerly a partner with McGladrey & Pullen’s national credit union practice, which he co-founded in the late 1980s. As a leader of that group, he monitored industry developments, continuously updated the firm’s approach and tools, and trained credit union audit staff. Schwartz has experience in agreed-upon procedure engagements, opinion audits, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS), credit union electronic data processing (EDP) service center reviews, and review and evaluation of internal audit functions.
“I’m excited to join LarsonAllen and look forward to expanding services to clients in all U.S. markets. This firm has a long history of serving credit unions and is committed to remaining a top service provider in this area,” says Schwartz. “Together we will be able to provide noticeably different client experiences.”
Schwartz is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Minnesota Society of Certified Public Accountants (MNCPA), and the Minnesota Credit Union Network (MNCUN). He is a recipient of the Institute of Certified Management Accountants (ICMA) Certificate of Distinguished Performance.
