EAST HANOVER, NJ, DECEMBER 13—On the strength of a growing SEC practice, focused niche development and an expanded team of professionals—all factors that have increased its competitive abilities—Friedman LLP was named the 20th largest accounting firm in New Jersey by business publication NJBIZ.
The firm’s New Jersey office now has approximately 60 employees, including 35 certified public accountants specializing in engagements with public and privately-held companies, professional service firms, nonprofits and auto dealers.
New Jersey managing partner Jeff Zudeck has proven adept at leading his staff through a period of transition that included a 2004 merger with New York-based Friedman and the advent of Sarbanes-Oxley.
“On top of our growth and our expertise, Sarbanes has given us an opening with clients who in years past would have gone with a Big Four almost by default,” according to Zudeck. “We are taking opportunities as they come—and creating new ones in the process.” Zudeck is encouraged that New Jersey is becoming the nexus of the firm’s higher-profile work in the SEC arena, but is equally focused on maintaining its traditional client base. “Our goal is never growth for growth’s sake. We have a long history in New Jersey. Our reputation for a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves, personalized approach is a constant. It keeps our work product strong. It keeps us who we are.”
