CohnReznick acquires Piascik Certified Public Accountants

CohnReznick, a top-20 public accounting firm, has acquired Piascik Certified Public Accountants, a Richmond, VA-based accounting and consulting firm.

The deal will expand CohnReznick’s presence in the Mid-Atlantic region, adding a Richmond office to its eight locations across Metro DC, Baltimore, Charlotte, and South Florida.

The Piascik team will bolster CohnReznick’s international tax and private client services practice.

Piascik has practices in international tax, business tax accounting, business advisory, business management, estate and trust, professional athletes, and medical/physicians.

Steve Piascik will join CohnReznick as office managing partner for Richmond while Ryan Losi will join as a partner in the international tax practice.

“As the business landscape becomes increasingly complex and our profession continues to change, we sought a new platform to help us secure our next chapter of success,” Piascik said. “I am thrilled that CohnReznick will help us continue our legacy.”

CohnReznick is headquartered in New York and has over 5,000 employees. The firm registered $1.12 billion in FY25 revenues.

London-based private equity firm Apax Partners acquired the accountancy earlier this year.

“CohnReznick has been more active in the M&A area since its partnering with Apax earlier this year and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them announce deals with other successful accounting and advisory firms before the end of the year,” said Allan Koltin, CEO of Koltin Consulting Group, who advised both firms on the deal.
