New Senior Management for Burr Wolff
Burr Wolff, a nationwide, full-service provider of state and local tax reduction services, yesterday announced that Harry Gray has been named chief executive officer of the firm, effective immediately. In addition, Chad Greenway was appointed to the new position of chief financial officer.
Gray replaces Paul Bourke, who resigned his position as chief executive officer on September 29, 2006 to pursue other interests.
“I am extremely honored that Burr Wolff’s board has asked me to take the reins of this outstanding firm,” said Gray. “I look forward to carrying the torch passed by Paul and leading Burr Wolff during the exciting days ahead.”
Over the past three years, Burr Wolff has increased its emphasis on Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services for state and local tax compliance, as well as its profitable and rapidly expanding property tax appeals business. “We will continue to pursue excellence on our core competencies in BPO and state and local tax compliance and appeals,” Gray explained. “And our commitment to providing the best customer service in the industry will not waver.”
Gray has had a distinguished career as an experienced operator in multiple industries. He is a former officer of the U.S. Navy and graduate of the United States Naval Academy. He earned his M.B.A. from Columbia Business School.
Greenway has been a successful financial executive for more than eight years, working as a principal in the investment banking and related industries. He earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration at Texas Christian University and pursued studies at INSEAD, the renowned international business school located in Fontainebleau, France.
“I look forward to working closely with Harry, the board of directors and the rest of the Burr Wolff management team to refine the operational and financial controls required of this rapidly growing business,” said Greenway.
Burr Wolff’s comprehensive BPO service has enabled many of America’s leading corporations to outsource some or all of their state and local tax processes, moving these complex, highly repetitive and non-strategic functions to a team of seasoned tax experts. As a result, Burr Wolff’s customers are able to reduce their tax costs and mitigate their risks while improving their control over the entire tax process. This type of comprehensive outsourcing relationship is rapidly becoming a competitive advantage for companies seeking best-in-class alternatives to non-core functions.
