Weiser Merges in Niche Firm

New York-area firm Weiser LLP has merged in area CPA and business advisory firm Weiner, Dailey, Katz & Co., a Tarrytown, N.Y.-based practice that has forged a strong client niche in the auto industry. Terms were not disclosed.

Going forward, WDK will now operate under the Weiser brand. Larry Weiner, Jeffrey Katz and Bruce Dailey of MDK will join Weiser as partners. WDK had generated annual revenues of roughly $3 million. Weiser managing partner Doug Phillips told WebCPA that the merger is part of the firm's ongoing strategy to bolster its practice niches.

"We had some auto industry clients, but not enough to call it a significant practice niche, until now," Phillips said. "We're on a strong growth curve at the moment, and I feel we've built a platform that attracts quality CPA practices. We're always looking for opportunities."

In June, Weiser merged in Leslie Sufrin and Co. PC, a boutique accounting, audit, tax and consulting firm that specializes in servicing publishing, media, information and communication businesses.

Weiser ranked No. 27 on Accounting Today's 2005 Top 100 Firms list with annual revenues of about $70 million. Following the mergers, the firm now has 70 partners.
