Kaufman Rossin elected Marc Feigelson as its next chief executive, effective June 1, following the retirement of current CEO Blain Heckaman.
Feigelson currently serves as the Top 100 Firm's CFO and has been with the firm for nearly three decades. His focus as CEO will be on maintaining Kaufman Rossin's independence from private equity investment or merging into larger national platforms.
"Independence isn't just structural, it's strategic," Feigelson said in a statement. "It allows us to stay accountable to our clients and our people, not outside investors. This leadership transition strengthens our ability to invest in the long term, powering talent and technology, and making decisions that serve both today and well into the future."
Heckaman joined the firm in 1984 and served as CEO since June 2012, succeeding the firm's founder, Jim Kaufman. Heckaman expanded the firm's geographic footprint and strengthened its advisory services by adding business consulting, risk advisory, forensic advisory and specialty tax practices.
"Leading this firm has been one of the greatest privileges of my career," Heckaman said in a statement. "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 was founded in 1962 and is based in Miami. It ranked No. 55 on Accounting Today's 2026 Top 100 Firms list, reporting $164 million in revenue, with 97 partners and 687 total employees across five offices.
