The situation

Gross, Mendelsohn & Associates has contributed to Linwood’s success since day one. Howard Moffet of Gross Mendelsohn helped set up the business, making sure the operation was on the right track with P&Ls, projections and demographics. Howard handled lease negotiations, established all business systems and coached the general manager until processes were smoothly up and running. Howard continues to provide accounting, tax and business consulting services to Linwoods.

In our client's words

“I talk with Howard Moffet regularly about running my business. He is a valuable asset and trusted advisor whose opinions I respect. From the outset, he’s used his industry knowledge to keep me on the straight and narrow path of government regulations. He is always available, keeps me well informed and has helped broaden my own business understanding to the benefit of the restaurant.”
