New York-based IPA 100 firm Citrin Cooperman Advisors LLC (FY24 net revenue of $871 million) announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire accounting and advisory firm, Gatto Pope & Walwick LLP (GPW) of San Diego-based. GPW will join Citrin Cooperman with 10 partners/managing directors and more than 60 professionals.
“At Citrin Cooperman, we believe that great firms are built on great people and meaningful client relationships,” said Alan Badey, CEO of Citrin Cooperman. “From our very first conversations, it was clear that GPW shares our commitment to being trusted advisors, providing the highest level of client service, and creating a supportive environment where talented professionals can thrive. We are thrilled to have the GPW team join Citrin Cooperman and make us Better, Together!”
“This move is about doing more for the people who trust us most – our team and our clients,” said Tom McFadden, MP of GPW. “We were determined to align with a firm that values relationships over transactions, talent over titles and people over processes. With Citrin Cooperman, we found a partner that shares those values. Our clients will continue to work with the same trusted advisors, now with broader services behind them. Our people will have more opportunities to grow and succeed. We couldn’t be happier.”
The addition of GPW furthers the continued growth of Citrin Cooperman in Southern California where it has completed 12 acquisitions, including four in the San Diego metro area, since January 2019.
