Melville, NY Raich Ende Malter & Co. LLP (REM) and U.K.-based accounting firm Frank Hirth PLC completed the transition of Frank Hirth’s U.S. practice, Frank Hirth LLC, to Raich Ende Malter.

“We are always looking to join together with accounting firms that complement or expand our current service offerings and the industries we serve,” said Ellis Ende, managing partner of REM. “Frank Hirth is a very special organization. I am excited to have these remarkable individuals here at REM, and I look forward to working together.”

Cornelius Kilbane Jr., managing partner of REM’s New York Office, said, “It is an honor to welcome the members of Frank Hirth to our firm. With their exemplary tax practice and deep technical knowledge of U.S. and international tax compliance, their practice will complement and expand our own.” 

Eric Collins, former director of Frank Hirth LLC, said. “Frank Hirth PLC will continue its U.K. and Wellington operations without any change. The choice to seek an affiliation for our U.S. practice was made to allow us to provide our clients a wider array of services and add depth within our professional staff. Our transition to Raich Ende Malter provides these resources, as well as specialized professionals in a variety of industries. At the same time, the move offers greater opportunities to our employees. Both for our clients and for us, this transition is an important step forward.” 

It is a significant step for Raich Ende Malter, as well. With the addition of the Frank Hirth portfolio, revenues will approach $60 million, solidifying REM’s place as one of the top ten regional accounting firms in New York.
