San Francisco-based IPA 100 firm Andersen (FY24 net revenue of $731.5 million) has opened a new office in Atlanta, expanding its presence in the Southeast’s dynamic business market.
“Atlanta has long been a strategic priority for Andersen,” said Andersen Global chairman and CEO Mark Vorsatz. “Its vibrant economy, connectivity and entrepreneurial spirit make it an ideal base to serve clients and grow our capabilities across the region.”
As part of this expansion, Andersen is integrating the respected team from Atlanta-based firm Berman & Associates. Veteran professionals Stephen Berman and Ronald Green have over three decades of experience and join Andersen as managing directors along with their team of tax professionals. They bring with them a legacy of technical excellence, client dedication and civic leadership.
“Stephen and Ron have built an outstanding practice rooted in integrity, trust, and long-term relationships,” said Dan DePaoli, U.S. country managing director. “Together, we have a tremendous opportunity to serve our clients and community and build Andersen’s future in Atlanta.”
“Joining Andersen marks an exciting new chapter for our team and our clients,” added Berman. “We’re able to preserve the personal service our clients value while unlocking the resources and reach of a global firm.”
The new Atlanta office managing director will be Conor LeFevour, an experienced Andersen managing director relocating from Chicago. LeFevour will oversee operations and growth while leveraging the strong foundation servicing individuals, estates and trusts developed by Berman and Green. He will be joined by Peter Speranza, also from Chicago, who will expand the business services practice with a focus on integrated tax strategies for commercial clients.
