Julio Gonzalez, founder and CEO of Engineered Tax Services (ETS) has acquired both The Growth Partnership (TGP) and the Able CRM platform. TGP and Able, led by longtime accounting industry consultants Jeff Pawlow and Charles Hylan, offer expertise to the AEC community.
“The architectural profession is rapidly adopting more of an ‘advisory’ mindset and looking to help add value to their client relationships,” said Gonzalez. “Jeff and Charles have positioned TGP at the forefront of that movement. I look forward to introducing their significant expertise and the unique Able CRM platform to our client’s family.”
ETS is currently working with more than 300 architectural firms. With TGP and Able addition, ETS’ family of companies will offer outsourced marketing services, specialized CRM tools and state-of-the-art training for the architectural firms they are serving.
Both TGP and Able’ team will join the over 120 ETS staff members and will continue to operate under their names and from their current locations. Currently, TGP and Able employ 15 people, which will expand over the next 12 months.
“I am excited about adding TGP and Able to Julio’s growing family of companies,” said Pawlow, the former managing member and CEO of TGP and Able, who will continue as a Managing Director at both organizations. “The expanded range of advisory services our clients will now have access to via the ETS companies allow us to ‘complete the circuit’ as we help develop future leaders through the Leadership Academy Program we administer for the AIA.”
