Metropolitan Commercial Bank’s Great Neck Team Hosts Education Course for Long Island CPAs

Metropolitan Commercial Bank’s Great Neck team recently hosted a professional education program for certified public accountants on minimizing estate and trust taxes. The program, which attracted CPAs from across Long Island, qualified for CPE credit. The event was offered in partnership with one of Long Island’s leading investment management companies, 4Thought Financial Group.

“CPAs represent an important segment of Metropolitan Commercial Bank’s client base,” stated Laura Capra, the Bank’s senior vice president and head of retail banking. “When the 4Thought team approached us about holding the seminar in our Great Neck banking center, we were happy to offer our space. Our Great Neck banking center was specifically designed to accommodate auditorium style and stand-up meetings and events. Our banking center space is available to professional and local business groups, as well as not-for-profit and civic organizations. It is just one example of our Bank’s commitment to engage with and support the communities and market segments we serve.”

Presenters at the seminar included 4Thought Financial Group President and CEO Marty Levine and Robert Barnett of the Capell Barnett Matalon & Schoenfeld LLP law firm.

“Changing tax law makes it critical for tax professionals to remain up-to-date and well versed on current issues related to estate and trust tax regulations,” noted Mr. Levine. “We thank Metropolitan Commercial Bank for partnering with us and providing an elegant venue to bring this important information to Long Island’s tax professionals.”
