Overview
Gosselin Consulting Group LLC was established in May 2010 by Peter J. Gosselin, Shawn M.
Charles, and Julie B. Doran. The firm was incorporated as a Limited Liability Corporation in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and is headquartered in Braintree, Massachusetts. The
original principal owner (those individuals or entities owning 25% or more of the company) of
the firm was Peter J. Gosselin. As disclosed in the firm’s 2016 annual Brochure (dated March
17, 2016), Julie Doran left the company, effective March 31, 2016, and her interest was
allocated to Peter Gosselin and Shawn Charles. As a result, both Peter Gosselin and Shawn
Charles are now principal owners of the firm. Together, these founding partners of Gosselin
Consulting Group own 100% of the firm.
