History

It all started in 1980 with an empty file cabinet, a desk and a savvy businessman named Lou Grassi, who possessed keen insight into the necessary components of success. After more than a quarter century,  the Grassi group of companies includes three full-service entities, each with a distinctive focus on individual and corporate financial health.

Grassi & Co. CPAs, P.C. is one of the nation’s elite accounting firms. Ranked by Crain’s New York Business as one of the 25 largest accounting firms in New York and by Long Island Business News as one of the top 10 on Long Island (#8), we are a full-service tax, accounting, and business advisory firm. Headquartered in Lake Success, New York, we also have offices in Manhattan and North Carolina.

Long Island Business News has named Grassi & Co. one of the Best Places to Work. The Grassi team has garnered many awards and accolades for our meticulous work and superior quality-further testimony to our commitment to client service.

Grassi Consulting, LLC specializes in business and management consulting, including fraud detection, forensic accounting, expert testimony, litigation consulting, operational reviews, and Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 Compliance.

Grassi Healthcare Consulting, LLC provides consulting services to the healthcare industry, covering such areas as compliance, benchmarking, coding, staff development and profit-enhancement strategies.

GCM Systems, LLC serves corporations' computer and information technology needs, specializing in implementation, training and support of accounting software programs.

The Grassi team services a diverse clientele that includes private and family-owned businesses, not-for-profit organizations and government agencies. With an average five-year annual growth rate of 40%, we attribute our success to one thing-unwavering focus on our clients' success and well-being. 

Speaking with managing partner  Lou Grassi offers the first clue that something is different at Grassi & Co. Certainly not typical "bean counters," our team uses its collective abilities to ease clients' pains and headaches. We maximize their businesses' efficiency and proactively guide them on the path to success. Our professionals take pride in advising successful business owners, and we strive daily to exceed expectations. The firm's partner team shares the same creative approach and entrepreneurial style as Lou, who leads by example. Our client-centered approach is instilled in every aspect of our corporate culture at every level-from the managing partner to the administrative support staff.

A top professional team has always been our greatest asset. The Grassi team consists of more than 100 talented professionals with the certifications and qualifications to overcome clients' challenges-and the personalities to make the process a pleasure. Our team includes the following credentialed professionals: Certified Public Accountants (CPAs); Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs); Certified Internal Auditors (CIA); Certified Financial Planners (CFPs); Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists; and Certified Construction Industry Financial Professionals (CCIFPs).

At Grassi & Co., we provide more than traditional accounting, auditing and tax services. Too often, companies undervalue the benefits of working with professionals who know and understand their business and personal finances. Here at Grassi, our team cares. We thrive on solving problems: reducing tax liabilities; easing the financial audit process; managing and planning for growth; and planning for the future.

Throughout the firm's history, we have developed in-depth expertise and industry knowledge in the following areas:  Construction, Real Estate, Healthcare, Not-for-Profit, Manufacturing, and Professional Services. The firm has actively recruited top talent with not only technical skills, but also industry knowledge that complements our practice. In addition, we recruit individuals with engaging personalities-not a typical prerequisite in the accounting industry. Both the expertise and the demeanor of our people contribute to our-and our clients'-success. Banks, sureties, law firms, other accounting firms, and municipalities all understand the value of working with our team. Our financial statements are often used as "the benchmark" in the construction industry.

The Grassi team has written and published a variety of articles, financial columns in industry publications, and entire chapters of accounting manuals. Our experts also edited national tax and accounting journals. We provide training and presentations for CEOs and business leaders, sit on boards and committees in the private and public sectors, and oversee advisory boards for banks and credit grantors. We engage in professional societies-especially industry-specific groups-so we can learn about and understand industry-wide problems and issues. This in-depth knowledge enables us to provide strategic, visionary and comprehensive services that meet clients' true needs.

Membership in Moore Stephens International Limited, an international association of accounting and business advisory firms, grants our clients access to talented professionals around the world. This close-knit association of premier firms augments our in-house services and expertise, expanding the information, contacts and resources available to our clients.

Grassi & Co. was founded by an entrepreneur who believes honesty, hard work and determination hold the keys to success. Our team puts that same model to work for clients, helping them unlock that success. Our team is Grassi.
