Hertz Herson CPA

Accounting and consulting for New York businesses since 1931

Hertz Herson CPA combines accounting with consulting for businesses across the New York metropolitan area. The firm dates from 1931, and some of its clients have been with it for decades. It stresses personal relationships, so that clients know their advisers by name, and its work combines compliance with strategy.

Accounting, tax and attest services

The firm provides day-to-day and periodic financial reporting, planning and compliance work on tax, and attest and assurance services, which provide an independent check on financial information. Its advice is meant to reflect the business acumen of a full-service practice, and it proactively identifies challenges before they become problems.

Advisory work for entrepreneurial and family-owned companies

Client advisory covers strategic guidance on planning and operations. Most of its clients are owner-led and family firms, among them consumer products companies, import and distribution businesses, apparel makers and manufacturers. Specialty industry practices, which are teams focused on particular sectors, bring sector knowledge to that work. The firm also recruits staff and describes a supportive setting in which contributions are valued and growth is encouraged.

Relationships that run across generations

The firm places trusted relationships at the center of its service, and some clients have stayed with it for many decades. Its culture is built on long-term trusted relationships and a willingness to go the extra mile.

Standing in New York rankings

By its own account, Hertz Herson is counted among the top 50 accounting practices in the New York metro area and ranks in the top 250 nationally, while keeping the feel of an entrepreneurial firm founded ninety years ago. The firm's advisers work with clients they know by name, across every one of these services. Its advisers aim to offer strategic advice that goes beyond the numbers.
