Barbara Durante
Construction Advisory & Accounting Senior Manager,
Grassi Advisors & Accountants
I am a Senior Manager at Grassi, in the Firm's Jericho office, providing accounting and consulting services to businesses and their owners, with a primary focus in the construction industry. After beginning my career in tax over 30 years ago, I switched my focus to helping businesses with financial statement preparation, budgeting and forecasting, and business consulting. I worked as an acting controller for a public company before returning to public accounting almost 12 years ago. Thanks to the unique experiences in my career, I have a strong understanding of the internal workings of the construction industry, accounting department and the needs of its staff. I live in Long Island, NY with my husband, Steve, and my two children.
