The Whisman Giordano team is truly grateful for the trust the community has placed in us over the decades. We’ve chosen to celebrate our 50th Anniversary with our 50 Acts of Kindness initiative.
The core of Whisman Giordano has always been an unwavering commitment to Building Extraordinary Relationships. It’s the connections made with clients, the community, and our team that makes the Whisman Giordano experience truly unique. Professionally, we serve numerous not-for-profit organizations. Now the team wants to share the excitement of the 50th Anniversary with the community at large.
President and Managing Director Joseph V. Giordano, CPA, CGMA, says, “We believe that our commitment to the community goes well beyond just serving our clients. We live here. Our families are here. Our firm has been very blessed over the past 50 years, and performing 50 Acts of Kindness is the least we can do. Performing kind acts and being kind should be everyone’s day-to-day norm.”
