Citrin Cooperman Advisors on Wednesday said it acquired substantially all the assets of Barkin, Perren, Schwager & Dolan, LLP (BPSD), a well-regarded Woodland Hills, California-based accounting and advisory firm.
The acquisition is a strategic move that deepens Citrin Cooperman’s presence in Southern California and expands its capabilities, particularly within the entertainment and professional services sectors.
With the acquisition, BPSD’s three partners and over 20 professionals will join Citrin Cooperman.
“BPSD is a natural fit for Citrin Cooperman,” Gary Kendall and Aaron Levy, SoCal regional managing partners of Citrin Cooperman said. “Their values, culture, and client-first mindset mirror our own. We’re thrilled to welcome such a respected firm and look forward to building an even brighter future together.”
For more than 50 years, BPSD has built a strong reputation for integrity and deep client commitment, establishing a strong foothold in the Los Angeles market.
“Joining Citrin Cooperman marks a new chapter in our firm’s journey,” Scott Perren, a Partner at BPSD said. “We’re proud of what we’ve built and excited to expand our reach and resources while continuing to deliver the personalized service our clients expect.”
The transaction is part of Citrin Cooperman’s broader growth strategy, which has seen the firm complete over 30 acquisitions since 2019.
