Atlanta-based IPA 100 firm Bennett Thrasher (FY24 net revenue $114 million) has welcomed Joy Goldblatt as a tax partner in its Dallas office.
In her new role, Goldblatt will lead tax consulting and compliance services for middle-market, closely held businesses. Beyond client service, she also plans to expand Bennett Thrasher’s Southwest presence and build out the tax team with strategic hires to support continued growth.
“Dallas is widely recognized as a diverse economic hub with rapid growth across industries, which creates increasing tax complexity for businesses,” said Jeff Call, CEO and MP, Bennett Thrasher. “Joy is a valuable addition to the Bennett Thrasher team as her broad industry insight and deep expertise make her exceptionally well-equipped to deliver the strategic guidance and high-level service our clients in this market expect.”
Goldblatt brings a strong track record to Bennett Thrasher, having spent the first decade of her career servicing asset and wealth management clients across the industry spectrum that focused on private equity, fund-of-funds and secondary funds, including ASC 740 provisions, income tax returns, investor reporting and transactional planning. Her work has since broadened to primarily support founder-led and closely held businesses across a wide range of industries.
“What drew me to Bennett Thrasher, first and foremost, was the people — especially the strength of the leadership team and the collaborative, relationship-driven culture they’ve built. It felt like a natural alignment with my values,” said Goldblatt. “Joining a fiercely independent firm was also important, as it reflects a commitment to prioritizing and empowering every employee and making strategic decisions that support the company’s long-term success.”
“Joy’s arrival is a catalyst for the next phase of our growth in Dallas,” said Dane Harris, Southwest partner-in-charge and M&A practice lead, Bennett Thrasher. “She brings the vision and experience that will allow us to broaden our capabilities, deepen client relationships and continue attracting top talent to support our expanding footprint.”
