Schwarz brings a 35-year background to the Stamford-based firm, most notably from his tenure as the Dallas business unit professional practice partner at KPMG. His career includes extensive work leading audit engagements for a wide range of public and private entities, as well as serving as an SEC engagement quality control reviewing partner.
