Gary Gary Shamis Shamis
assumed responsibility for his father’s
accounting firm in 1981. Over the thirty-five years that followed, he took
revenues from $225,000 to approaching $100 million and employees from a
dozen to 600. He built the 37th largest independent accounting and consulting firm in the nation, before combining SS&G, Inc. with BOO USA, LLP in 2014. Today, as principal of Winding River Consulting, a business advisory services company, Gary is a highly sought after speaker, facilitator, and consultant.
In its inaugural list of Managing Partner Elite in Accounting in 2012,
Accounting Today identified Shamis as one of only ten people recognized for qualities required of a person in a firm’s leadership role. He is the “very model
of the modern managing partner, and this list is more or less unimaginable
without him,” it stated, adding “he invented, codified, or popularized most of the strategies and best practices that are now taken for granted.”
