The Greenwich Old Timers Club Scholarship Program


Born and raised in Connecticut, Michael John Smeriglio serves as a licensed Certified Accountant at his Greenwich-based firm Michael J. Smeriglio III, CPA. An engaged member of the local community, Michael J. Smeriglio also serves as a board member and the treasurer for the Greenwich Old Timers Club.

The Greenwich Old Timers Club was founded in 1960 to support youth sports and student athletes. Since its founding, the organization has contributed more than $1.4 million to promote athletic programs, honor high achievers, and fund scholarships. 

The club’s college scholarship program has been a centerpiece of its mission for many years. More than 100 student athletes have received educational funding through the program. A need-based program, the initiative was first organized in 1966 as a non-renewable $500 award. However, the funding level has grown since its inception, and today deserving student athletes receive a $2,000 award that can be renewed for up to four years.

Assurance and Advisory Services by Michael J. Smeriglio III, CPA


Michael J. Smeriglio established Michael J. Smeriglio III, CPA (MJS CPA), his Greenwich, Connecticut, accounting agency, in the Cos Cob neighborhood in 1986. An accounting graduate of Pace University, Michael John Smeriglio leads a team of financial professionals capable of supporting clients in various areas of financial planning. His firm’s offerings include a variety of assurance and advisory services.

Objective analysis is a key component to any effective financial plan, particularly those designed to achieve long-term investment goals. Financial strategies that are not rooted in analytics are likely to fall victim to a volatile marketplace and the constantly shifting financial landscape. Investment portfolios and finances that have been developed with the support of a skilled accounting team, on the other hand, are more likely to excel in areas of cost control and efficiency. Assurance and advisory services also allow individuals to thoroughly review new technologies before they are integrated into the financial decision-making process.

A few examples of assurance and advisory services at MJS CPA include debt and finance consulting, transaction structuring and negotiations, financial trends and projections, and accounting software selection and implementation, to name only a few. More information regarding the firm’s assurance and advisory services is available online at www.mjscpa.com.
