Grant McCarthy brings eight years of accounting and tax experience.
LAYTONSVILLE, Maryland — Ruppert Companies recently appointed Grant McCarthy as Director of Taxation and Compliance. In this position, he will be responsible for the income tax and compliance process and related financial supervision of all Ruppert Companies entities.
McCarthy is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and holds a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Maryland, College Park.

Green industry professionals provide some tips for those who wish to take up leadership positions at a young age.
Neal Glatt remembers that once, as a young leader, he would be aggressive towards older employees on the phone. At the landscape meeting on Thursday, he told attendees that sometimes he almost had physical conflicts with some 40-year-old men.
"They don't respect me at all, why should they respect me? I'm a (jerk)," he said. Glatt is now the managing partner of GrowTheBench, and he says people left the company because of him early in his career. "I have a lot of failures. Repairing these relationships requires years of training."
Glatt and other team members are discussing how to manage the company when you are a young leader. They provided some feedback on how current young leaders earn the respect of employees, even if they are much older than their bosses.
Enter the trenches. Lucas Melograno of Mariani Landscape said that working in this field completely changed his perspective and gave him a comprehensive understanding of the work of all employees in the company. Climbing up the ladder and getting a promotion is essential to clearly understand the meaning of the job and make him more sympathetic to them when encountering difficulties.
"When I joined and came in, my attitude was very young, fast up, up, up, but it won't happen so fast," Melograno said. "This is a very critical point. For a person, it is a good way to succeed because they will better understand how the business really works. Digging trenches or planting trees all day is not the most fascinating job. But you will learn a lot."
Frank Mariani Jr. is currently the president of the company founded by his grandfather, and he also expressed this view.
"They want to sweat with you... let you stand by their side to get their approval," he said. "If you don't get this from them, your life may be like a living hell."
Understand their goals. Glatt said that he currently hires a second-year social media manager in college. Although she has done a lot of great work for him, her ultimate goal is not to work in the field of landscaping.
Glatt did not keep her in vain, but said that their weekly one-on-one meetings now allow him to sit down and discuss possible internships or job opportunities outside of the company. This is not always to meet the immediate needs of the company-in the long run, how do you make your employees better?
"The good news is that the day I know she will leave, at the same time, she will work harder for me and will train replacements because she will not get me into trouble," he said.
Have some confidence. David Grover, manager of the Pacific Landscape Management branch, said that he used to be afraid to speak at conferences because his ideas were often not heard.
Now that he has worked in the company long enough, he still finds that he sometimes stifles ideas and is surprised when people take them seriously. Grover recommends finding some confidence to speak at the conference and believing that you have important contributions.
"In the past few months, I started to speak at conferences and people just said,'OK, let's try it.' This requires me to have a certain level of confidence and self-confidence in myself," Grover said. "The more I lean toward it, the more it feels arrogant, but that's not the case. At a certain point, you are providing value."
