Marc is one of the best Senior Directors I have ever worked for. He genuinely takes the time to get to know his partners, their business, their pain-points, and their opportunities to thrive. He brings unparalleled quality and deep industry expertise to the audit and risk advisory services he provides to his lines of business. He has a very hands-on work ethic with a very diverse skillset. He is very technical, and has the patience to teach even during tight deadlines. He is a highly regarded mentor to associates both within his group and within other audit groups. When the hours were long, you will always see him in the trenches, "sleeves rolled up" with you. He always has a great gauge on his team's morale and how to keep them fully active and in high spirits. The engagements I worked together with him on, received great reviews within the organization. I fully recommend working for Marc Katznelson.
