Private Equity Practice Launch: Insights from CPA Practice Advisor on Kaufman Rossin PE

CPA Practice Advisor recently published an article featuring Marc Feigelson and Michael Fletcher, announcing the launch of Kaufman Rossin PE, the firm’s new private equity practice.

“Many of the CPA and advisory firms competing for work in the PE space are owned by private equity,” said Feigelson. “That means a fund, a fund manager, or a portfolio company is handing sensitive information to an advisor owned by another PE firm. Kaufman Rossin is still independent, objective, and partner-owned, and we plan to stay that way. That means our people are here for the long term, with no competing interest positioned above them.” As CEO, Feigelson points to that independent, partner-owned structure as a key differentiator from competitors in the PE space. The new practice supports deal teams, fund managers, and portfolio companies across the full deal lifecycle, from screening and valuation through post-acquisition value creation and exit.

For private equity funds, fund managers, and portfolio companies, the expansion means access to specialized tax structuring, fund accounting, regulatory compliance, and M&A advisory support without handing sensitive deal information to a competitor-owned firm. Paired with Kaufman Rossin’s investment banking arm, Mary Street Capital, clients gain integrated deal and advisory support under one partner-owned roof.
