Gabriel Connolly
Partner
My name is Gabriel Connolly, and I am a partner at Distinctive Accounting Services. After graduating, Cum Laude, from the University of Massachusetts I joined the Peace Corps and began my hands-on accounting experience as an Economic Development Consultant in Paraguay. Most of the small businesses I worked with kept no records, and had no idea how much money they were making. I worked with them to create a simple general ledger in a notebook. As their confidence grew, we created better accounting solutions that prepared them to grow their businesses.
When I returned to America, I used the experience I gained abroad, building accounting solutions for businesses, and individuals.
At Distinctive Accounting Services, we know that businesses need more than Bookkeepers. They need an all-inclusive Accountant they can rely on to give good tax and strategic advice which will maximize their potential.
We enjoy partnering with individuals as well as dedicated and passionate business owners, especially those with a vision for future growth.

Mark Bozzini
Tax Specialist
Hi my name is Mark Bozzini. I graduated from Assumption College with a B.A. in accounting and a baptism under fire – the Reagan Tax Reform Act of 1986. My first position was with the firm of Catella & Valorie, CPAs, gaining valuable experience until ultimately taking over my mentor F. Lawrence “Larry” Catella’s practice upon his retirement in 1992. We provided tax, bookkeeping & compilation, auditing and small business advisory services for multiple generations of families over the next 25 years.
In 2018 I began to pursue another passion, managing stock portfolios and acting as financial advisor to selected friends & family members. I’ve always missed the interaction with clients, however, understanding their tax filing and planning needs, so I’m happy to jump back on board to assist with your individual and small business taxes.
Let me introduce myself. I am Barbara Cowen. I joined A&A Accounting in 2016, bringing with me 7 years of experience working for a CPA firm in Central Massachusetts. My Accounting experience includes bookkeeping, payroll, and processing tax returns.
My priority is assisting our clients with their growing businesses by providing them with accurate bookkeeping and support. Having run my own small website development and digital marketing business for over 20 years, I understand many of the issues that some of our small business clients encounter.
I am a graduate of Northeastern University in Boston.
