Kaufman Rossin elects Marc Feigelson as next CEO

Kaufman Rossin, a Miami-headquartered accounting and consulting firm, has elected Marc Feigelson as its chief executive officer, effective June 1, 2026.

Feigelson, the firm’s current CFO, will succeed Blain Heckaman as the firm’s leader. Heckaman will retire after serving as Kaufman Rossin’s CEO since 2012.

Heckaman joined the top-50 accountancy in 1984 and went on to succeed founder Jim Kaufman as CEO. During his 14-year tenure, Heckaman expanded the firm’s geographic reach and grew the advisory services business with offerings in business consulting, risk advisory, forensic advisory, and specialty tax.

“Leading this firm has been one of the greatest privileges of my career,” said Heckaman. “I have tremendous confidence in Marc and in the strength of our team. Kaufman Rossin’s long-term focus remains clear: to serve our clients, invest in our people, and grow on our own terms.”

Kaufman Rossin in a press release said Feigelson’s election reinforces the firm’s decision to stay independent as many accountancies opt for private equity investment or mergers with larger national firms.

“Independence isn’t just structural, it’s strategic,” said Feigelson, who has been with Kaufman Rossin since 1998. "It allows us to stay accountable to our clients and our people, not outside investors.”

Feigelson has 27 years of public accounting experience, with deep expertise in audit, transaction advisory, and forensic accounting services for real estate, healthcare, and professional services clients. Before serving as CFO, Feigelson was co-leader of the real estate and construction group.

He has a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Florida and is a certified public accountant.

Kaufman Rossin was founded in 1962 and has more than 700 employees across five offices in Florida and New York. It is the 49th-largest accounting firm in the United States, according to IPA, with $164 million in annual revenue.
