Over the course of his CPA career, Patrick worked in the disciplines of Accounting, Audit, Tax Planning and Compliance. In 2006 he acquired an ownership interest of a CPA Firm originated by a mentor, Allen J Lambert to form Lambert Lanza CPAs PA.
In 2011, Patrick formalized his financial planning Practice by obtaining his Series 6 license and in 2014 obtained his Series 7 and Series 65 license. He also became a licensed insurance representative in 2014.
Recognizing that the eight days to the week and 30 hours to the day were not sufficient to service his growing CPA Practice and Financial Services Practice he decided to focus his time, effort, and energy solely to his Financial Services Practice at the beginning of 2020.
As Patrick progressed in his career, he was fortunate to associate with many honorable people who mentored him professionally and personally. If there was a common thread of his mentors, it was “Take care of your client and everything will fall into place.” It may not be then and there. It may not be with that specific transaction. But if you do the right thing, even when no one is looking, everything will be fine.
