Our People

Steven M. Braunstein, CPA

I believe in establishing relationships based upon trust. I’m a partner and president of Snyder Cohn.

When I work with you, I:

  • Help you solve complex problems by looking under every rock and pebble. I value every opportunity to bring fresh perspectives to the table.
  • Put myself in your shoes, understand your needs and provide candid and complete responses to your questions or concerns.
  • Freely admit when I do not know something and look into it. Once I have the information, I get back to you with an informed perspective on what is best for you.
  • Give you my undivided attention so that when I’m with you, I’m really with you, and set aside time to make that happen.
  • Manage the flow of our work together to get the job done well and avoid a last minute-frenzy.

I value the opportunity to support you and always remember you and your details because you are important to me. It is a pleasure to team up with you to attain the best possible results.
