Do you have a hobby/personal passion?  
When not spending time with my wife and 3 kids, I enjoy running.

What was the best advice you’ve ever received?  
I have received a lot of good advice, but something that sticks out is: the night before I started at Schneider Downs (my first job after college) my dad said to me “make sure that this is something that you enjoy, because you will be working for the next 40 years”

Who is your role model?
I have multiple role models. Nobody is perfect. I try to duplicate the positive attributes in people and learn from their flaws.

What was your childhood dream?
To be a trash man (the guy that rode on the back of the truck).

If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your college self? 
Invest in Facebook

Vended cotton candy and lemonade at Cleveland Indians games (1997 – 1999)

What is the best or most interesting thing about your career?   
I started my career (August 2001) at Schneider Downs and my parents have sent a cake to the office for my birthday every year.

I was on the maintenance crew and picked up trash at Blossom Music Center.

When you have an hour of free time, what do you like to do?  
Watch poker on TV and play poker if I can get more than an hour of free time.

Do you have advice for young professionals?
Meet as many people as you can and make connections. You never know where they will end up and what they will be doing in 10 to 15 years.

Big Problem: Incorrect Accounting Methods


Big Thinking: Seven Figure Tax Savings.

Shareholder GENNARO DIBELLO has widespread experience in all areas of tax and business planning associated with closely held companies, and he's been with Schneider Downs since 1987.
During a routine review of one of our client's operations, Gennaro's team identified something that wasn't very routine at all. They discovered that the client was using multiple incorrect methods and calculations for computing tax depreciation for their fixed assets. Gennaro met the client to discuss the issue, presented a solution to correct the problem, quantified the results, and implemented the changes resulting in a favorable adjustment of nearly $4.5 million. Gennaro's expertise and eye for detail was critical in helping this client fix a problem they didn't even realize that they had. "We're good at identifying opportunities or exposures that aren't on our clients' radars," Gennaro said. "It's not necessarily what we were originally retained to do, but while we're executing our engagements, we're always looking for new ways to help our clients and minimize their tax burden." Schneider Downs provides Big Thinking and Personal Focus in delivering a variety of services for large and small businesses, both publicly and privately held, as well as nonprofit organizations, government entities and more. Through our commitment to thought leadership and knowledge management, we deliver the solutions our clients need with a personal commitment to service.
