A Georgia Senate resolution formally recognizes and commends Jeffrey Cohen, a Georgia accountant and financial planner, on his retirement after a long career in public accounting and personal financial planning.

In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia Senate for Jeffrey Cohen, an accountant and financial planner retiring after a long career. It recounts his professional history, from earning an accounting and finance degree at the University of South Florida to working as a tax manager at Metcalf, Frix & Company, co-founding Bromberg & Cohen, PC, and later co-founding Nova Wealth Management Group LLC, which he eventually sold to Buckingham Strategic Wealth. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply states the Senate's recognition of Cohen's career and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for him.
