Thank you to the University of Hartford and the University of Hartford Barney School of Business for the feature! I’m grateful for the education, mentors, and experiences that helped shape my career and ultimately led to the work we do today at Monaco CPA.
When Gregory Monaco ’18, M’19 first stepped onto the University of Hartford campus, he wasn’t entirely sure where his journey would lead.
