In a noteworthy announcement, PKF O'Connor Davies, one of the largest accounting, tax, and advisory firms in the U.S., reveals that Bhakti Shah, a Partner at their Cranford office, has been honored on the '2025 NJBIZ Leaders in Finance' list. This prestigious recognition is awarded to financial executives and leaders in New Jersey, spotlighting their significant contributions to both organizational success and community enrichment.

Since joining PKF O'Connor Davies in 2022, Shah has become a vital member of the firm’s Trust and Estate practice.
