Rossello began his career in 1978 in Stamford, Conn., becoming a partner with the firm in 1988. Involved with many different industries, he dealt principally with financial services companies. In 1992 he transferred to New York City to focus on the insurance, reinsurance and financial guaranty industries.

He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Connecticut and Massachusetts State Societies of CPAs. While working in Stamford, he was an ex officio member of the Board of Directors of the Domus Foundation, an independent, nonprofit group residence for at-risk boys ages 12 to 18.
