48

At Thursday’s Maricopa Chamber of Commerce breakfast, Do It Right Now Business Service’s Mark Schwartz made an important announcement. He told the group that C.P.A. Jim Chaston, who is also president of the Maricopa Unified School District’s governing board, would be leaving the firm, effective October 1, to become an outside consultant.

“We became friends immediately and remain friends today,” Schwartz said, dispelling any potential rumors of a rift in the partners’ relationship. “We’re proud of how the firm has grown.” He added that Chaston would remain available to the firm as well as to clients on a limited basis.

The two men have been doing full-service accounting as well as tax and financial planning for the past two years in Maricopa from their office on John Wayne Parkway.

“This is an opportunity for me to do some different things,” noted Chaston, “and this is the best way for me to do it.”
