Who We Are
Ablamsky & Company, CPAs is a boutique accounting firm with world-class talent. Founded in 1997 by a former Principle in the Tax Consulting Group of a Big Four accounting firm, the company has grown to include some of the most prestigious clientele in the world, including former CEOs of prominent public companies, professional athletes, and titans of the hedge fund industry.
We earn trust based on one simple promise: We will provide every client the same careful, considerate, personalized attention that we would give to a member of our own family.
Whether you are a hedge fund, high net-worth individual, or small business owner, we offer comprehensive services to meet your needs.
We help our clients meet their individual accounting and financial goals through personalized attention from senior professionals.
Unlike many well-known firms, our company is comprised ONLY of CPAs with at least 10 years of experience in tax planning and preparation. We won't introduce you to a top-notch senior partner, then hand your account to a recent college graduate or outsource it to low-wage countries like India and the Philippines.
WE WILL NEVER outsource your most sensitive information, or save a buck by hiring interns to input your data. At Ablamsky & Company, CPAs, your return will be handled, from start to finish, with skill and care by our senior tax preparers.
