Robert W. Scharar Mentoring Fund

Robert W. Scharar Mentoring Fund

Rob Scharar served as President of The Attorney-CPA Foundation in 1988. He was the fourth recipient of the Louis S. Goldberg Award for Outstanding Achievement in 1993. Rob is originally from Lakeland, Florida and holds a BSBA from the University of Florida, MBA and JD from Northeastern University, and LLM (Tax) from Boston University. In 1975, he formed First Commonwealth Associates, the predecessor to FCA Corp, to offer fee-based independent financial planning.

This fund was created by Richard Alphonso, President of the American Association of Attorney-CPAs in 2001. The fund endeavors to provide mentoring opportunities to new attorney-CPAs as well as provide resources for schools to reach out to accounting students before they go to law school, so that these students can get the mentoring they deserve for summer internships and similar programs. Principal and income can be used.
