CohnReznick LLP, a national accounting, tax and advisory firm, has appointed Patrick Duffany, JD, CPA, as the new Managing Partner of the Firm’s Tax Practice. Duffany succeeds Kenneth Kanter who is retiring.

“We congratulate Patrick on his new role as CohnReznick’s tax leader. His enormous wealth of tax and accounting experience, along with his vision, track record, and leadership skills, will enable him to successfully lead our tax teams and clients through the opportunities and challenges of an ever-changing tax landscape,” said Frank Longobardi, CohnReznick CEO.

“In my new role, I will continue providing the quality, relevant, and timely services that drive growth for our clients by leveraging the talents of our tax professionals and building our Firm’s capabilities,” said Duffany. “Through technological innovation, and by collaborating with our clients and our audit and advisory practices, I am committed to uncovering new opportunities to drive efficiency, deliver value, and more effectively manage risk.”
