Andersen has expanded in central Florida by opening a new office in Tampa, where the top 25 firm has added more than 20 professionals from Reilly, Fisher & Solomon, a Tampa-based tax compliance and planning firm.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. Joining Andersen are 19 tax professionals and four managing directors from Reilly, Fisher & Solomon.
“Our client base in Florida, including high-net-worth individuals and large businesses, continues to grow making Tampa an ideal extension of our global platform,” Andersen Global Chairman and CEO Mark Vorsatz said in a statement. “From the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic Ocean, Floridians will have access to our independent tax guidance and a variety of multidisciplinary professional services, along with the high quality and service that our clients have come to expect from Andersen.”
Andersen is taking over Reilly, Fisher & Solomon’s office in Tampa. It’s Andersen’s second location in central Florida and the latest in Andersen’s North American expansion as part of its growth strategy. Earlier this year, Andersen opened an office in San Diego, following a February 2023 U.S. expansion in Orange County, CA, Pittsburgh, and Des Moines, IA. And in September 2023, Andersen launched its Global Valuation practice across more than 20 countries worldwide throughout Europe, Latin America, Asia, and North America.
Professionals in the Andersen Tampa office bring with them deep experience and expertise in real estate and partnership taxation, S corporation and individual taxation, estate planning, trust taxation, business valuation, and investment advice.
“Tampa Bay is the heart of Florida’s Gulf Coast and this new addition will complement the successful practice we’ve established in West Palm Beach,” said Randy Macpherson, managing director of Andersen’s Florida practice and head of Andersen’s West Palm Beach office. “The decision to expand our presence here was an easy one—especially when we factored in working with the talented Reilly, Fisher & Solomon team, along with the additional benefits our clients will receive.”
Dan DePaoli, U.S. country managing director for Andersen, added, “Reilly, Fisher & Solomon professionals share our firm’s core values and commitment to stewardship and service. We’re excited to deepen our bench in Florida with a unique combination of skills and knowledge to serve the growing and dynamic Tampa market.”
