Connie Eckerle, Member of the Firm, made the following remarks about working with Nick.

“I have worked with Nick for almost 10 years now and watched him work diligently over those years, gaining experience, and earning his well-deserved title of “Partner”! Nick is dedicated, client-centric, and takes on a challenge head on! His clients trust him and love working with him. He is admired and respected by his colleagues of all levels because he has patience and cares about helping, teaching, and training. Nick enjoys spending time with his wife Chelsie, their family, and is passionate about his Florida professional sports teams especially his Florida Panthers!! We are so proud to have him on our team!!”

Janess Messner, Director of Human Resources added the following.

“I had the opportunity to work with Nick closely while coordinating efforts for the recent Plantation merger. It is a true testament to his hard work, determination, and commitment that the merger was a success. He ensured that each new transitioning “Smolinite” was able to acclimate to SLC, and was made aware of the opportunities available. Nick is inspiring and dedicated, and I look forward to working with him and the Smolin team, in expanding further in the South. Congratulations and best wishes for continued success.”

And finally, Paul Fried, CEO, had this to say about  Nick.

“Nick has grown from an entry level accountant to an amazing partner of Smolin. When he assumed the role as Partner in Charge of our Plantation office, he had the responsibility of transitioning all the clients as well as our team in the Plantation office. He did a remarkable job! Nick has the utmost respect from his colleagues as well as his clients.

Most importantly, Nick is wonderful family man who always puts family first.

Congratulations Nick, I know I speak for everyone at team Smolin, we are proud to be your partner and your colleague!”

For all of the above reasons and more, Nick was a natural pick for our employee recognition program.

Congratulations Nick!
