City of Culver City – Mayor (1999 – 2000)
– Council Person (1996 – 1999)

As Controller, Richard A. Marcus might be a numbers guy, but he’s a numbers guy on a mission.

“I’m an old boy scout interested in every single person and every element that makes the business tick,” Richard says. “My sole purpose is to make Fidelity’s service, systems, people, and products better than I found them.”

That’s a tall order when you’re working with a company that’s already established itself as a leader in the industry, but Richard’s experience and skills have prepared him well.

A graduate of Iona University in N.Y. with a BBA in Accounting, he has directed accounting and audit functions for leading entertainment companies, internet-based businesses, fashion companies, distribution companies, and not-for-profits. He’s been an advisor to CEOs, a hands-on protector of human and corporate resources, a trouble-shooter, and a manager.

A civic minded leader, Richard also devotes time to his community. He has served as the Mayor of the city of Culver City and a member of its City Council.

Since he joined Fidelity over five years ago, Richard has managed accounting, financial and tax reporting, and HR. He coordinates IT functions, and he serves as liaison and facilitator for outside banks, accountants, and auditors, and, of course, Fidelity’s investors.

“Investors are the backbone of our business,” Richard says. “They put their trust in us, our products, and systems, and we, in turn, are fully dedicated to helping them get the returns they expect and deserve. My job is to provide clients with timely and accurate financial information so they can make the best decisions for their business.”
