Two senior shareholders recently announced they would step down from their posts with regional accounting firm KAWG&F.
Alfred Windesheim and N. Mark Freedman, who together served almost 70 years at KAWG&F, said they would retire from their active roles with the firm, effective Jan. 1, 2009.
“It’s with a mixture of happiness and sadness that we announce the retirements of Al and Mark,” said Alvin Katz, KAWG&F’s president and chief executive officer. “They have played an integral role in the success of our firm over the past 35 years.”
Windesheim joined KAWG&F in 1973 and became a shareholder in 1975. He specializes in income, estate and gift taxes, valuation of closely held businesses, and tax planning. Windesheim plans to spend more time with his many interests.
“It’s been a great pleasure to have participated in the success of KAWG&F as it grew into one of the leading certified public accounting and consulting firms in the mid-Atlantic, and I take much pride in being a part of these great accomplishments,” Windesheim said.
Freedman joined KAWG&F in 1974 and became a shareholder in 1977, helping clients work through business, tax and planning issues. He has relocated to Scottsdale, Ariz., where he will continue his work for a number of clients in Arizona as well as spend more time with his family.
“It’s been an honor to have worked so closely with my clients and fellow colleagues at KAWG&F,” Freedman said.
Both Windesheim and Freedman plan to continue supporting KAWG&F’s staff and clients in an “Of Counsel” role with the firm.
KAWG&F was founded in 1969 and has headquarters in Timonium, with additional offices in Columbia, Bel Air, Annapolis and Easton.
