Trout CPA Expands Mid-Atlantic Presence with Schiff & Associates

Trout CPA, an established accounting, tax, and advisory firm based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has recently undergone an important transition by acquiring Schiff & Associates. This leading firm, well-known for its expertise in dental practice accounting, tax, and advisory services, is headquartered in Towson, Maryland. The acquisition is set to significantly strengthen Trout CPA's position in the dental industry while expanding its reach throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

As part of this transition, Schiff & Associates will now operate under the new title Schiff Dental CPAs by Trout CPA. This strategic move not only highlights Trout CPA's commitment to the dental practice sector but also reflects the company's dedication to delivering high-quality, personalized service to its clients. Schiff & Associates, founded in 2006, has cultivated a strong reputation founded on trust and client relationship engagement; values that resonate with Trout CPA's long-standing principles of professionalism and responsiveness.

Ira Rosenbloom, CEO of Optimum Strategies, provided strategic advisory services to Trout during this transaction, showcasing the careful planning and consideration that went into this acquisition.

Todd L. Harrington, Managing Partner at Trout CPA, expressed enthusiasm about the merger: "We are excited to welcome Schiff & Associates to our family. By combining their expertise in dental practice advisory services with our broader range of accounting services, we can offer clients enhanced operational support and a comprehensive array of solutions. At the same time, we will maintain the individual attention they value."

Following this merger, the combined firm will bring together 180 team members, including 21 partners, while maintaining a strong focus on the dental practice accounting niche. Clients of Schiff Dental CPAs will continue to work with familiar professionals, who are now augmented by Trout CPA's innovative operations and extensive resources.

"Joining Trout CPA guarantees our clients will maintain access to high-quality service, with the added advantage of a larger firm's resources and innovative solutions," remarked Allen M. Schiff, the founder of Schiff & Associates. This sentiment encapsulates the essence of the merger—ensuring continuity while facilitating growth and enhanced service quality for clients in the dental sector.

Beyond strengthening its expertise in dental practice accounting, Trout CPA aims to extend its comprehensive accounting, tax, and advisory services across various industries in Maryland. This acquisition marks a significant stride toward achieving greater operational scale and depth in service offerings.

Founded in 1929, Trout CPA has a rich history of serving clients in Pennsylvania and the wider Mid-Atlantic region. The firm is recognized among America's top CPA firms, ranking 178th in Inside Public Accounting's annual survey of the Top 500 CPA firms in the USA.
