Description
Gross, Mendelsohn & Associates is a CPA and consulting firm serving the complete financial, technology and wealth advisory needs of businesses, nonprofits and families.

Being in business for 60 years has taught us one big lesson – our firm succeeds because of our people. That’s why we invest in our staff. We believe in open doors, transparency and celebrating success. We challenge our people, but we’re also their biggest advocates. We’re professional yet informal. We reward success, innovation and drive, and foster our employees’ desire to learn and grow.
There’s a reason why our firm has been voted a “top workplace” seven times: our firm’s leaders go to great lengths to ensure our people feel recognized and appreciated. Our staff enjoys flexible schedules, generous vacation packages and work from home capabilities. The firm has offices in Baltimore and Fairfax.
