Today is an important day of reflection of the past 40 years of serving our clients and a milestone worthy of celebration.

I started writing a message maybe after 10 years of business and then the 15th, 20th, 25th year and then decided every year there after was a milestone worth sharing.

On 06/15/1984, the filing of the first DBA "Doing business as" certificate at the Monroe County Clerk's office on West Main St. in Rochester, NY; I had just enough money to file. After that, I used two(2) $500 limit credit cards to buy my first computer and accounting software. Then after that, 16 more companies have been created, 9 that were more investments were ultimately sold during the years and 8 remain today of which 7 of those are our core businesses that we have been operating since the first years.

People ask me what we do and I always smile and say; well we do everything in the game of "Monopoly" (my childhood favorite and suspect many of you as well). Investment Advisory & Portfolio Management Services, Accounting & Taxation Services, Full Real Estate Services, Trust Planning, Trustee and Executor Services, and all forms of Insurances and yes; we own railroads and utility companies :).

As a think about what I have not written yet after so many anniversaries posts, I have to say this; I am blown away by the loyalty , trust and confidence our clients have placed in our companies and the so many comments that "We are with you as long as you are". Folks, that is one of those statements that is priceless and worth way more than any transaction we have ever done; we are so grateful.

Our staff has been a key part of our treasured relationships with our clients. Their dedication, enthusiasm, loyalty along with hard work has been most valuable to our continued success and it could not be done without everyone's effort.

In closing, we have what I would say are the best clients we could ever ask for and we are grateful, blessed and appreciate you!

Cheers to the past 40 and we look forward to many more years to come!

May God Bless you and your families always!

Come celebrate with us!

I am pleased to share another milestone in the history of The Gregory L. Schaffer Companies; our 39th anniversary.

As I reflect on writing this, what do I say after 38 times? I am grateful, humbled, blessed and have to say we have the best clients we could ask for.

Our clients are like family and that is what is maybe different between us and many of our colleagues. Our relationships go way beyond in my opinion and if you ask our clients, they know we have their back, their best interest and our dedication at all times.

We are "Fiduciaries" for our clients and have become one of the most comprehensive financial service companies in the country offering, Investment Advisory & Portfolio Management Services, Accounting & Taxation Services, Full Real Estate Services, Trust Planning, Trustee and Executor Services, and all forms of Insurances.

Our staff have been a key part of our journey and their dedication, devotion, enthusiasm, loyalty and hard work has been valuable to our ongoing success. I am proud to have them as part of our work "extended" family.

We can’t thank our clients enough for allowing us to serve as their trusted advisors and allowing us to be part of their lives. We are blessed for your trust and confidence, and we will do all we can to edify your financial stewardship and protect your families for many more years to come.

May God Bless you and your families always!
