Windes Advances Strategic Growth with the Expansion of its Southern California Practice

Windes, a leading accounting and advisory firm, today announced the expansion of its Southern California practice through the addition of Gary Greene’s practice of ten professionals with Harris, Greene LLP, a public accounting firm located in Irvine, California, effective July 1, 2026.

Gary has represented multi-generational family office clients for more than forty years, focused exclusively on providing tax services, including strategic planning and consultation, estate and gift tax planning, and compliance. With a reputation for attentive service and committed professionals, Gary has developed a tax practice with extensive experience in the real estate, hospitality, venture and growth equity, and life sciences sectors.

“This expansion reflects our continued commitment to growing thoughtfully as a firm and creating greater opportunities for both our people and our clients,” said Sean McFerson, Managing Partner at Windes. “As Windes continues to expand, we remain focused on building depth in the markets we serve, investing in top talent, and broadening the capabilities that help our clients navigate increasingly complex business environments. Welcoming Gary Greene and his team advances that vision by adding valuable industry experience and strengthening our ability to deliver proactive, strategic guidance.”

The addition of Gary Greene’s practice expands the presence of Windes in Orange County, strengthens its tax platform, and increases its capacity to serve a broader range of clients across Southern California. By adding new client relationships and experienced professionals, the expansion further enhances Windes’ ability to deliver specialized expertise and the high-touch service that has defined the firm’s approach for over a century. With this added scale, Windes is well-positioned to serve a broader client base while continuing to deliver the personalized attention, strategic foresight, and expanded resources that support its long-term growth strategy.

Gary Greene said, “As I reflect on my public accounting journey, I am very grateful to the committed team that supported me throughout the years. Together, we have developed lasting relationships with the families that we have been honored to work with. The decision to join Windes as a partner was a natural step as we found common ground in our business cultures and the manner in which we both approach client service. Our clients will continue working with the same wonderful professionals they know and trust while also having the opportunity to work with new and talented individuals from Windes. We will gain access to a broader range of services, specialized expertise, and enhanced technology. On a personal level, I am excited about the future and the continued journey with Windes.”
