“Over the years, Jerry has become like my accounting father. He has a calming effect. Jerry’s wealth of knowledge of the government contracting and accounting industries has been invaluable. When I come to him with questions, I know he has the answers. He knows what he is doing. Regularly, I incorporate his recommendations into how I run our financial operations and, as a result, my corporation has grown. He has a great team of very competent people he oversees. They have helped us with everything- tax returns, audits, reviews, incurred costs, conversions, personnel, and recruitment. I completely trust his direction.”

“Had I not met and trusted Kate Fisken, I would have made a big mess out of my government contracts. I didn’t realize how complex the business could be. For over ten years she has led me through the morass and minutia of the government contract financial process which can be intolerant of the smallest mistake. She keeps me sane and safe. Kate and her team at Gelman, Rosenberg and Freedman have helped me grow my business and I could not have done it without their expertise and insights. Kate is also the personal accountant for my partner and me and we truly respect her input as a financial business partner and as a human being.”

“Before engaging Gelman, Rosenberg & Freedman to perform our audit work, Integrated Laboratory Systems used Jerry Rosenberg’s consulting services for 15 years. He advises us on a number of issues such as bonus policies, our fringe benefits package, compliance with DCAA, and writing organizational policies.
When we outgrew our accounting firm, we naturally selected GRF to conduct our audit. We needed a larger firm with government contractor experience and we are comfortable working with Jerry. Our relationship just works. Jerry’s team, Michael Shaffer and Jackie Oneto, are confident and know what we are trying to accomplish. When at our office the audit team is always polite and they do not disturb our staff. They are very concerned with making sure we understand what is happening in our financial world. It’s a real team approach.
We really like working with Jerry. He knows all the rules and regulations and is excellent at helping us make clear decisions based on the risks we are taking. Most recently Jerry helped ILS defend a significant finding from DCAA in our bonus policies. This saved us a lot of money in unallowable costs and preserved a very effective rewards program.
Jerry understands what I want to do with my department and our company, and I often use him as a sounding board to verify what I am thinking. Jerry is a wealth of knowledge. He asks the right questions and makes us think outside the box to find the best solution. Jerry also understands DCAA and keeps us on track with GAAP. Simply put, he is eager to see us succeed.”
