Jack is a partner at GALLINA and has been with the firm his entire career. He says he didn’t have to look far to find professional role models…they’re his customers.
From the beginning of his career in 1983, he says he has been able “to observe and learn firsthand the best practices that set the successful, highly profitable contractors apart from the marginal ones.”
Jack’s approach to customer service is to build long-lasting relationships based on trust, and to provide his clients with quality service at a competitive price. “My service model is very personal,” he says. “As soon as a client and I agree to work together, I’m the one who oversees, coordinates, and ensures both the timeliness and the quality of the service provided by the firm.”
Jack believes that staying in touch on a year-round basis is essential. “The more I know about a client’s business and specific needs, the better the advisor I can be.” Eugene Gini, President and CEO of Collins Electrical Company, Inc., which Jack has represented since 1990, says, “I’ve always appreciated and valued his straightforward and honest advice.”
Wendell G. Reed, President of Basic Resources, Inc., says, “Jack has faithfully served my business needs for over a decade. His dedication and commitment has exceeded my expectations.”
Echoing that sentiment, Lawrence R. Booth, Vice President of Frank M. Booth, Inc., notes that Jack has been his company’s “go-to” guy at GALLINA for well over a decade. “He has the answers when we have questions. He has provided excellent guidance toward implementing effective tax saving strategies. He is truly a pleasure to work with.”
In addition to traditional year-end services, financial, and tax compliance, Jack personally provides value-added services such as:
• Tax reduction analysis, planning and consulting
• Profit enhancement studies
• Bonding and banking liaison and consultation
•Operational efficiency reviews (including internal control and accounting
procedure review)
• Strategic business planning and long-range goal setting — including
succession planning
• Assisting in the preparation of buy/sell agreements
•Job cost systems, including indirect overhead allocations
and equipment use charges
• Analysis of transactions, including dispositions/acquisitions and
lease versus purchase analysis
• Merger and acquisitions consulting, including due diligence,
financial and valuation analysis
• Financial forecasting, budgets, and projections
• Financial benchmarking studies “Jack has proactively advised my company and me for over fifteen years. I respect his professionalism and value his friendship,” says Donald O. Ford, President of Ford Construction Company, Inc., adding, “He has always taken a personal interest in helping us manage our success.”
Jack actively participates in a variety of professional, charitable, and construction industry trade associations. In addition, he serves on the board of directors for the Boys and Girls Club and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. “As my client’s have demonstrated in their own lives and professions,” he says, “giving back isn’t just an option…it’s a way of life.” |
