Grassi, Grassi’s CEO, Founder and Managing Partner. “Together, we are expanding the tools and talent behind every engagement, strengthening the service quality and technical excellence for which both firms are known.”
With the addition of the OnePoint team, Grassi Franchise Services now includes more than 100 professionals, forming one of the most experienced and specialized accounting groups in the franchise industry. Two partners join the firm, including Laura Wright as Franchise Business Development Leader, and Diana Mead, who will serve as Co-President of Grassi Franchise Services alongside James Bohl.
