Rich Viviano
Managing Director
Most people are lucky enough to have one successful career – Rich has had two! Joining Henderson Harbor Group in 2011 after twenty years on the New York commodity trading floor, Rich literally went from filling buy/sell orders to filling tax jobs!
Rich has always enjoyed helping people reach their financial and professional goals and recruiting gives him that platform to help tax professionals reach both. Guiding someone on their career path is more important than just putting someone in their next job. There is a real satisfaction in that.
Oh and a little known fact, Rich makes the best Rum Cake on the planet.
