Edwardsville CEO Program

Mark C. Goldenberg (Founder & Managing Partner), Jennifer Fourcault (Legal Administrator) and Lisa Stapleton (Paralegal) led the Edwardsville CEO Program students on a talk and tour of their lovely building in Edwardsville this morning.

Mark shared that his love of numbers began at the age of 4 when he would operate the cash register while standing on a milk carton at his family’s grocery store. His dream was to become a tax accountant! After receiving his accounting degree from University of Illinois (GO ILLINI!), he decided to pursue a law degree to better prepare himself to work in the tax department for a CPA firm.

After taking on several side jobs in law, Mark saw an opportunity to merge his two areas of expertise and starting a dual practice CPA/law firm. Fast forward through accepting an invitation to be a city attorney, several large cases and a 3-way company merger, Mark continues to serve as Managing Partner for the firm he founded over 30 years ago.

His advice for our young entrepreneurs?

• Clear communication is key! Clearly define what you are providing to your customers and what you are getting in return.

• Do your due diligence. Spend the time doing the research and assessing potential costs & revenue in your market.

• Start a business in something about which you are passionate. If you don’t enjoy what you are doing, you likely won’t do it for very long.
