Melville, New York-based Singer & Falk CPA’s, P.C. (“SF”) has acquired New York City-based Rosenblatt, Radezky, Schiff & Tepper, CPA’s, P.C. (“RRST”). The new firm will operate under the Singer & Falk name.
The merger brings together two firms in the small-mid-size accounting space dedicated to providing direct, personal service to help clients grow their businesses.
“We already had a lot of clients in NYC, but we wanted to cultivate a permanent physical presence there,” noted Jesse Singer, CPA, SF’s lead partner, “We spent a lot of time looking at potential merger partners until we finally found the right one in RRST.”
Adam Falk, CPA SF’s co-lead partner added, “RRST both complemented the work we were already doing and allowed us to expand the types of services we can provide, as well as the types of clients we can serve. Our audit function is now considerably more robust, and we have added decades of experience in serving the staffing and recruiting industry.”
“Our firm was incredibly hands-on,” said Allen Tepper, CPA, who had been lead partner at RRST. “Becoming a mere ‘add-on’ to a large firm was not going to work for us – or for our clients. Jesse and Adam’s commitment to strengthening our NYC presence by adding staff and making smart investments in upgraded technology had a lot of appeal. What clinched the deal was their alignment with the way we practice accounting.”
“Singer & Falk was an attractive partner for us because they have a youthful, dynamic outlook and, while they’re committed to growth, still promise the kind of client service that led us to get into this profession,” said Dan Signorille, CPA, formerly a partner at RRST. “With changing times, we knew we needed to grow to have the flexibility to take on different clients and provide deeper services, but we didn’t want to lose what we had built over many years. This merger was a perfect fit.”
Robert Fligel, CPA, of RF Resources LLC, who introduced the two firms and helped shepherd the merger agreement, added, “What made this combination particularly compelling was not just the strategic fit, but the people involved. The acquiring firm (SF) has built a reputation for energy, responsiveness, and collaboration. They are deeply committed to continuous improvement: investing in technology, attracting and developing the right talent, and creating a culture where people are treated well and encouraged to grow. The selling firm (RRST) brought with it decades of client relationships, meaningful niche specialty practices, and a long history of servicing and retaining clients across generations. Both firms had demonstrated track records defined by continuity, trust, and technical depth.”
