Grassi & Co., one of the top 20 accounting firms in the N.Y. market, is taking an opportunity to give back to the community as the holiday season approaches.
It is not every day that you hear of an accounting firm that is willing to almost completely shut down business in order to give back to the community, but on Friday, October 24th, Grassi & Co. did just that.
For the firm's annual "Firm Day" event, Lou Grassi, the firm's managing partner, brought 200 of his employees to the Skyline Hotel for a day of service with St. Francis Food Pantries and Shelters. On this special day, the mission was not to meet deadlines or issue financial statements, or even collect billable hours, it was to prepare thousands of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to hungry New Yorkers, and give back to the city.
"St. Francis Food Pantries and Shelters is a fantastic organization here in New York City that provides clothing, food, school supplies and more to so many people in need. My team and are I excited to have the opportunity to contribute," said Grassi.
Grassi & Co. is a nationally recognized firm that was founded in New York and can attribute its success to its employees and clients in the New York Metro area. Grassi & Co. is privileged to give back to New Yorkers in need.
