Brian Rabinovitz knows how to seize an opportunity when he finds one. With over twenty years of practice behind him in accounting, auditing and  consulting, he recently founded his own company—Proactive Professional Solutions, Inc., in Los Angeles—and he’s using his wide breadth of experience to bring success to his independent venture.

Proactive Professional Solutions is a young company, founded earlier this year. Rabinovitz works with a diverse range of companies, providing various consulting services in areas like business management, mergers and acquisitions, and obtaining financial capital through traditional and non-traditional means. He also performs business development services for Marcum Stonefield, a national accounting firm with over 1000 employees. He started the company because he’s passionate about helping innovative businesses succeed. “My client base ranges from middle market companies to entrepreneurs with a good idea,” he told The Suit. “Proactive Professional Solutions and our extended team include top professional service providers and firms, successful entrepreneurs, insightful, accomplished consultants and veteran managers from a variety of business fields.”

Rabinovitz got his start with a degree in business administration from Hofstra University. For years, he worked in the accounting and auditing industry; During 2002, he became an audit partner at Stonefield Josephson, a large Los Angeles-based accounting firm. His transition to working independently happened naturally, he explained. “Stonefield became my client, and I’m doing business development for them now,” he said. “It was the best of both worlds. My office is still based there, but I’m independent from them. It was just a great opportunity for me.”

In addition to serving as president of Proactive Professional Solutions, Rabinovitz also started a project called The Original Mixer, which provides successful business professionals an excellent opportunity to network with their peers.

“Back in 2001 when I first moved to Los Angeles, I was invited to a small Monday night dinner group,” Rabinovitz recalls. He realized that networking in a social environment was a productive way to conduct business, and he took the initiative to expand on the idea. “It metamorphosed into a group of anywhere between 250 and 400 people, meeting on a bi-monthly basis to do business with the people they’re friends with.” While attendees enjoy a free night of food and drinks, companies sponsoring the event—often entrepreneurial ventures and emerging growth companies—have a table set up where they can meet with their peers and spread the word about their business.

Whether organizing business mixers, being Vice-President of ACG 101 or offering expert advice to clients at Proactive Professional Solutions, Rabinovitz is an innovative leader in the Los Angeles business world. He looks forward to the continued growth of his young company, and he’s focused on providing specialized service to every one of his diverse clients. “The world is an ever-changing place, as are businesses’ fluctuating needs,” says Rabinovitz on his company’s official website [insert link]. “As a trusted advisor, we pledge to continually listen to our clients and enhance our offerings to satisfy their needs.”
