Nicholas Massis, MBA:
Nick has over 25 years of experience in the business and financial industry. He is well versed in all aspects of business operations from start-ups to on-going concerns, and from financial management to human resource management. Nick holds an MBA in Finance and has worked with companies of all types and sizes. His clients range from the technology sector in Silicon Valley to e-commerce and the legal profession. He is detail oriented and treats his clients and their businesses as if they were his own. Nick founded The Massis Group, LLC after being approached by several companies wanting to use his services but could not afford to pay a full-time salary. He soon realized that many small-to-mid size business owners are experts in what they do but do not have the time, expertise, or inclination to handle the important tasks of dealing with the accounting and human resource functions that are vital to a company’s success. His success is predicated on the success of his clients that he supports.
