COHEN CONSULTING, INC.
HILLSBORO BEACH, FLORIDA

Cohen & Company was founded in 1977 on the belief that there had to be a better way to help businesses find success. What began as one man’s passion has since evolved into a firmwide mission to serve as tax gurus, audit and compliance authorities and holistic business advisors to our clients in the private sector and the investment industry. Working with Cohen & Company means your organization will experience a true difference. With more than 600 associates in 10 offices, we are one of the largest CPA firms in the country. So, we can support you in almost any endeavor to better your operations. But it’s our service culture that will make the biggest impact. A rigor in technical excellence, industry leadership at the national level, passion for what we do and deep relationships with our clients combine with our sharp business acumen to give us an eye for intelligent risks and opportunities — and gives you smart choices for your future. Your service team of outgoing, dedicated individuals will help you execute on strategies that drive success. Cohen & Company is a proud member of TIAG (The International Accounting Group), a global alliance of more than 120 independent accounting firms spanning 70-plus countries and serving clients all over the world in a range of business needs. Complementing our own  , our relationship with TIAG enables us to leverage local market knowledge and expertise on a worldwide scale. That same relationship also gives us access to TIAG’s sister alliance, TAGLaw, an international network of independent law firms. Regardless of wherever you and your business need to go, we can help take you there. TIAG is an international alliance of independent accounting firms, who share common objectives and standards, but are not under common control or management. TIAG itself does not practice accounting. TIAG disclaims any responsibility or liability for acts or omissions of any of its member firms. Member firms in TIAG are not engaged in the joint practice of accountancy, nor is there any legal or partnership relationship between or among the TIAG members by virtue of their membership in TIAG. Cohen & Company believes that our success is greatly tied to the success of the communities in which we live and work. This belief is such an integral part of our culture that we look for every opportunity to encourage and support our associates in pursuing their civic and personal passions. In addition to team efforts, we support our employees’ individual passions just as strongly — from giving them paid time off to conduct service work or serve on not-for-profit boards, to donating to and sponsoring numerous civic and charitable organizations to which our employees feel a connection. In 1999, the firm also launched the Cohen Community Foundation, in honor of our founder Ron Cohen. The foundation proudly supports civic, art, cultural and entrepreneurial not-for-profit organizations that make a positive difference in our communities. One of Cohen & Company’s core principles revolves around providing a rigor in technical excellence that helps us better serve our clients. Our associates proactively seek out and complete numerous hours of technical training and research annually, far exceeding state licensing requirements. We attend quarterly department-wide trainings, weekly collaboration sessions, and outside technical trainings and conferences. Each division of the firm also holds annual, often multi-day training programs on technical and business issues relevant to our clients. Below are a few of the additional ways we remain committed to technical excellence and helping shape industry standards that impact our clients. Cohen & Company has been registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) since 2003 and is inspected by the PCAOB to assess our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules of the Board and the SEC and professional standards. Our most recent inspection report issued in 2013 (under our former name Cohen Fund Audit Services, Ltd.) did not identify any audit performance issues or quality control defects that warranted discussion in the report. The firm has participated in a peer review every three years since its inception. During each review, outside auditors evaluate our adherence to firm and industry policies and procedures relating to the performance of our work. We have received the best possible rating in each review in our history, including our most recent peer report in which we received the prestigious “pass opinion” and no letter of comments. We are a member of the American Institute of CPAs and its practice sections, including the Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center, Private Companies Practice Section, and the Governmental Audit Quality Center, as well as the associated Center for Audit Quality. Additionally, our practitioners currently serve or have served at the highest levels of the AICPA: Major Firms Group (our CEO is currently Chair) Task Force on Private Company Financial Reporting Cohen & Company has been called a lot of things, including one of the top 100 accounting firms in the nation and a best place to work. It’s a lot to live up to. But each of our recognitions has great meaning for us and stems from the achievements of both our firm and our individual associates. Humbled by the praise, we remain grounded and work even harder each year to continue to earn the respect of our peers and our business communities. Below are some of the recognitions we are honored to have received: Best Accounting Firm to Work For (2009-2015) Recognizes best accounting firms to work for in the country.
