ABOUT US

It all started in 1980 with an empty file cabinet, a desk and a savvy businessman named Lou Grassi, who possessed a keen insight into the necessary components of success. After more than a quarter century, Grassi & Co. is now one of the nation’s elite accounting firms. Ranked by Crain’s New York Business as the 23rd largest accounting firm in New York and by Long Island Business News as the 7th largest on Long Island, we are a full-service tax, accounting, and business advisory firm. Headquartered in Manhattan, NY, we also have an office on Long Island.

At Grassi & Co., we provide more than traditional accounting, auditing and tax services. We thrive on solving problems, reducing tax liabilities, easing the financial audit process, managing and planning for growth, and preparing for the future. We have been recognized nationally as one of the Best Accounting Firms to Work For by Accounting Today, named one of the Best Places to Work for 2011 for the 5th year in a row by Long Island Business News, and have been ranked among the Top 25 “Best of the Best Firms” by INSIDE Public Accounting for five consecutive years. Grassi & Co.’s team has garnered many awards and accolades for our meticulous work and superior quality, providing further testimony to our commitment to client service.

Our team services a diverse clientele across several industries including Construction, Architecture & Engineering, Manufacturing & Distribution, Real Estate, Not-for-Profit, and Healthcare. We also have consulting divisions with expertise in technology, healthcare and business advisory issues. With an average five-year annual growth rate of 40%, we attribute our success to one thing – our unwavering focus on our clients’ success and well-being.

Speaking with Managing Partner Louis Grassi offers the first indication that something is different at Grassi & Co. We are not your typical accounting firm. Our team uses its collective abilities to ease clients’ pains and headaches, 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 Mr. Grassi, who leads by example. Our client-centered approach is instilled in every aspect of our corporate culture at every level, from Managing Partner to the administrative support staff.

Our number one asset is our professional team. Grassi & Co. consists of over 140 talented professionals with the certifications and qualifications to overcome clients’ challenges and the personalities to make the process a pleasure. Our team includes credentialed professionals such as Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs), Certified Financial Planners (CFPs), and Certified Construction Industry Financial Professionals (CCIFPs), along with several other qualified and talented professionals across all of our departments.

Grassi & Co. actively recruits top talent with not only technical skills, but also industry knowledge that complements our practice. In addition, we recruit individuals with engaging personalities that allow our clients to feel comfortable throughout every service we provide. 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.

Grassi & Co.’s talented professionals have written and published a variety of articles and financial columns in industry publications, and entire chapters of accounting manuals. Our experts have 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 that 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 our clients’ true needs.
