To enhance the services provided by KatzAbosch, many of our shareholders have earned and vigorously maintain the accreditations of Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA), Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), Certified Financial Planner (CFP), Personal Financial Specialist (PFS)—Designation by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Certified Construction Financial Professional (CCIFP), and Accredited Estate Planner (AEP).

Recognizing the importance of collaboration in the accounting community, KatzAbosch was a founding firm of the Leading Edge Alliance (LEA), a global alliance of major independently-owned accounting and consulting firms in the United States and throughout the world. Since its inception, KatzAbosch has become a leader within the organization by founding various subsets of the group and speaking regularly at LEA conferences. The LEA provides the firm with a vast network of CPA firms nationally as a resource. Some of the resulting benefits to KatzAbosch and our clients include:

  • Peer-to-peer advisory services regarding client issues
  • “Best practices” regarding client services, financial/operations metrics, and technology
  • Research tools

In addition, the LEA has special interest groups that allow member firms to further increase their expertise in specific industries and practice areas. KatzAbosch is a member of multiple special interest groups including Accounting & Auditing, Tax, Not-for-Profit, and others within the LEA.

 

At KatzAbosch, we pride ourselves on progress and never lose sight of the personal commitment to our clients—the key to our success and yours.
