Founder/Principal

At Gelwarg & Father Consulting, we specialize in financial and operational administration for individuals, families, and small businesses. That means clean books, organized processes, tax-aware planning and preparation, and transparent reporting—plus the strategic and emotional support to help you feel in control of your financial life.

The firm is led by founder Lucas Gelwarg, an Enrolled Agent with a Master’s in Taxation from Baruch College and a B.A. from Brandeis University. Lucas’s background spans arts, architecture, and social services—an eclectic mix that grounds their approach in both financial discernment and real-world empathy.

We also provide fractional CFO services with the diligence of a full finance department, without the red tape. Whether you need day-to-day account management, proactive tax guidance, or just someone to help you untangle the financial noise, we're here as a steady, judgment-free partner.

Think of us as fiscal therapists: we don't just organize your numbers—we help you make sense of them.

Our Services

For a limited time, we are accepting new clients for tax return preparation services.

What People Say

  • “Working with Lucas has completely changed how I approach my business finances. He doesn’t just keep the books and file the returns — he helps me make sense of everything, stays on top of deadlines, and gives honest guidance I can trust. I always feel like he’s thinking a few steps ahead, and I know I’m covered. It’s a huge weight off my shoulders.”

    Michael Kosciesza - Module Post, Inc

  • “As a freelancer, it’s easy to feel like you’re on your own. Having Lucas as a steady point person has made all the difference. He helped me set up an accountable plan which allows my S-Corp to reimburse me personally for office space in my home. It counts as a full business deduction without recognizing any personal rental income. I always feel like he’s looking out for me.”

    — Robert Johnson, FC Films

  • "After the passing of my parents, I was overwhelmed by the responsibility of managing their estate. While there have been many aggravations to navigate, Lucas has helped alleviate some of the burden. His steadiness, clarity, and responsiveness have made a real difference during a difficult time."

    — Allison Sondericker, Client
