The cliché is that accounting is dry and boring, but Cecelia Garber would tell you otherwise.
In her line of work, she can change lives with numbers. She can influence the welfare of a child by calculating what support payments should be. She can enhance the value of someone’s lifelong work by knowing how to tabulate what his or her business or company is worth. She can ease the pain and suffering of the injured or victimized by helping to decide what their compensation should be. And, in some cases, she can even keep someone from going to jail.
Ms. Garber calls her profession a cross between science and art. The science comes from familiarity with the myriad laws and regulations of accounting and all of the fields to which it applies. The art is that sort of creativity that only can flow from experience.
Like other successful accountants, she is well-paid for her work. She applies her skills in ciphering through records and such and, in the end, making it matter for her clients. A lot of what she does is called “forensic” because of its in-depth and investigatory nature. Think of it as picking something apart through paperwork.
She grew up in South Florida, the daughter of a Jewish deli owner who she calls “probably the greatest man I’ve ever known.” As a young girl, her interest in accounting was first piqued by an uncle who was an accountant and “always seemed to be the most affluent side of the family.”
She is married and has two daughters, one with a degree in hospitality management from Johnson and Wales University and who is now studying locally for a second degree in the field, and another studying corporate communications at Boston University.
As Marcum’s partner-in-charge for the Florida region, Ms. Garber typically splits her time between the firm’s offices in Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Based in New York City, Marcum is one of the country’s largest independent public accounting and advisory services firms.
Over the past 20 years, Ms. Garber has handled matrimonial litigation support, bankruptcy, fraud investigation, personal injury damage calculation, commercial business calculation and business valuation. She has represented individuals and businesses in tax income matters, income tax planning and compliance, personal financial statements, business consulting services, and IRS criminal and civil cases.
She has been hired by lawyers to represent “high net worth” clients in divorce cases, pre- and post-nuptial agreements, diversion of assets and income, and child support calculations. She has testified as an expert witness and has experience with mediations.
Ms. Garber discussed her career with Miami Today reporter Scott Blake at Marcum’s Fort Lauderdale offices.

Miguel “Mike” Fernandez is a Miami entrepreneur’s entrepreneur. He has the big office in a high-rise, complete with plush furnishings, a big flat-screen TV, and photos of him with famous people. He has a helicopter. He has a corporate jet. He had a yacht, but he’s having a new one built. He keeps models of them outside his office, like symbols of the fruits of his ingenuity.
He has a portfolio of health care companies. He has enough income sources to make a tax examiner’s head spin. He has a wife and five children. And he wondered if he might lose it all when doctors told him last year he had prostate cancer. He had surgery and now he says he’s OK.
Mr. Fernandez is used to coming out on top. What else can you say about a Cuban immigrant who came to the US as a boy; joined the US military and became a paratrooper; moved to Miami, living in modest apartments; started out as a salesman, and, despite not having a college degree, found a way to become a multi-millionaire? Somewhere along the line, he figured out the American dream and he figured it out well.
One of his specialties is founding companies, shaping them up, and eventually selling them off for big money. His current roster of businesses includes a controlling interest in Navarro Discount Pharmacies, the largest retail pharmacy chain in the US focused on the Hispanic market.
He’s also political. He’s one of Republican Mitt Romney’s biggest financial supporters. And he doesn’t mind talking about the pitfalls of big government, though, ironically, some of his companies’ biggest revenue sources are the federal and state governments.
He has a way of winning you over as he speaks. Agree with him or not, he seems to have mastered capitalism.
Not that he’s all about money. One of things he likes about health care is the idea of helping people, including a unique insurance plan he and his partners started this year that exclusively serves HIV/AIDS patients. In the Mike Fernandez tradition, he is doing it big, getting NBA Hall of Famer Ervin “Magic” Johnson, the world’s most famous HIV-positive person, to buy into the venture and be a spokesman for the company. And he has given away more money (he says $100 million over the last decade) than ordinary millionaires dream of making.
Mr. Fernandez spoke about his approach to business and his views at his Coral Gables office with Miami Today reporter Scott Blake

Retired F.B.I. Special Agent, Isaiah Johnson has made a fresh start with a new wife and a new career as a college professor. His predictable life explodes into chaos when his former partner’s daughter comes to New York to attend school and is killed suddenly after discovering a mysterious box hidden at the campaign headquarters of presidential candidate, James Stapleton. Isaiah is thrown back into a world of murder and treachery as those around him fall victim to violent attacks while he races against the clock to decipher the damaging truths contained within the box. As the mystery of the box begins to unravel, a treasonous conspiracy is revealed that will take down the American political system and rock the Constitution to its core.
Hailing from the Midwest, Bill Johnson came to Miami as a young man and, today, the fingerprints of his work are present throughout the city. After a nearly 32-year career in Miami-Dade County government, Mr. Johnson could write a book about local politics and its players. Not that he’d have much time to do it.
In recent years, Mr. Johnson has worked as manager of the county’s two top economic engines – Miami International Airport and Port Miami.
Mr. Johnson has been involved in key county projects that helped make Miami what it is today, including the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and the AmericanAirlines Arena.
Today, as he approaches the last chapters of his career, Mr. Johnson shows few signs of slowing down. As director of the seaport since 2006, he speaks passionately about major infrastructure projects that are aimed at catapulting Port Miami to an even higher level of cruise, cargo and related commerce.
He envisions a bold future for Greater Miami, in which the seaport acts as a crucible of business, job creation and economic growth.
“I’ve had the opportunity to serve this community for nearly 32 years,” Mr. Johnson said. “I’ve had the opportunity to not only grow professionally but to learn firsthand what Miami-Dade County is about and how beautiful of a community that it is.”
Mr. Johnson reflected on his career and discussed his plans for the future of the seaport and Greater Miami with Miami Today staff writer Scott Blake at his office at the seaport.
