Roth&Co is pleased to announce the acquisition of E.C. Ortiz & Co., LLP, an accounting and financial services firm based in Chicago, Illinois, with 45 accounting professionals and over 40 years of experience.
The deal expands Roth&Co’s regional reach to the Midwest, and broadens their service capabilities to include governmental entities among a variety of deep financial specialties. As of July 1st, 2020, E.C. Ortiz will operate under the Roth&Co brand.
The acquisition increases Roth&Co’s headcount to 14 partners and over 160 accounting professionals, with offices now in New York, New Jersey, Illinois and Israel. Roth&Co is the recipient of Inside Public Accounting’s Fastest Growing Firm award in 2019.
Both Roth&Co and E.C. Ortiz carry a respectable legacy of accounting and financial services, with Roth&Co founded in 1978, and Ortiz in 1974. Roth&Co was founded by Abraham Roth to service the accounting needs of local businesses and the nonprofit community. In the decades that followed, Roth&Co expanded to serve growing organizations across the Northeast and the U.S. at large, becoming a full-service solution with departments dedicated to taxation, assurance and advisory services.
The new addition to Roth&Co’s portfolio of businesses provides a strong foothold in the Midwest and adds a slate of real estate, healthcare and government entities to their already robust client base.
“E.C. Ortiz’s sterling reputation, local relationships and specialized services make them the perfect partner for our continuous expansion,” says Zacharia Waxler, co-managing partner of Roth&Co. “The acquisition allows us to continue to innovate and grow with our client community. It’s a win-win both for us, and for our clients,” he continued. “Roth&Co’s resources have just expanded exponentially, while client experience, relationship management and fee structures remain unchanged.”
Ortiz brings extensive experience in federal and state compliance, healthcare compliance and financial audits. “We couldn’t be more excited to join the Roth&Co family,” says Ortiz founder Ed Ortiz, who remains on board as one of the partners of the Illinois location. “We share the Roth&Co commitment to excellent, relationship-based financial services, and see the immediate value in combining resources for the benefit of our teams, clients and communities.”

Roth&Co Partners and staff reflect on the firm’s journey over the last 40 years.
December 21, 2016
December 20, 2016 — BY Jeremy Pasternak
Roth&Co continues to grow its staff in order to meet the accounting needs of the community.
Roth&Co, Brooklyn’s largest accounting firm, continues its growth as it recently announced the addition of three new partners. Formerly Senior Managers; Moshe Schupper, Moshe Seidenfeld, and Ben Spielman have been with Roth&Co for over 10 years each, and have proven their commitment not only to Roth&Co’s values, but to the community and its needs. As of January 2017, they will join current partners Heshy Katz and Alan Botwinick, working together with Co-Managing Partners Abraham Roth and Zacharia Waxler.
Moshe Schupper, who was a manager in Roth&Co’s Assurance division, has a unique background which allows him to simultaneously look at a client’s situation from both the tax and financial statement perspectives. This multi-faceted approach helps Mr. Schupper navigate any issues or questions a client may have, and he brings this experience with him to all clients that he serves. Mr. Schupper said he was “honored to be admitted as a Roth&Co partner” and greatly appreciates this opportunity.
Moshe Seidenfeld helps his clients manage and understand the financial and tax compliance aspects of their businesses. Mr. Seidenfeld serves as a consultant to his clients and has established a solid reputation of excellence in servicing businesses beyond the books, by providing tax strategies and assisting clients to successfully navigate the business world. Moshe commented on his promotion “when you make sure to always have the best interests of your clients in mind, the results are typically optimal for everyone involved”.
Ben Spielman works in Roth & Co’s entrepreneurial services department. Mr. Spielman has extensive experience servicing the Real Estate, E-Commerce, and Health Care Industries. Mr. Spielman also serves on Roth & Co’s Banking Committee, alongside Mr. Seidenfeld, where they build relationships with banks to help secure financing for businesses. When asked to comment about his promotion, Mr. Spielman said “I am humbled by this honor, and will continue to put our clients and their needs first”.
“At Roth & Co, we believe that our firm is only as good as our team. Our clients rely on our accountants and professionals, and so we actively cultivate an environment that supports both personal and professional growth” responded Abraham Roth, when asked about the reason for the promotions. He continued, “this ensures that the potential of each Roth & Co employee is actualized. We are proud of what we have built, and continue to build together.”
Zacharia Waxler, who has taken on the role of Co-Managing partner, echoed Mr. Roth’s sentiment. He added, “Roth&Co was created nearly 40 years ago in order to give people opportunity- This includes our clients, who we invest ourselves into; the community, where we always look for opportunities to give back; and especially our hard working employees, who will always be rewarded for their hard work and commitment to the Roth&Co vision.”
Roth&Co was founded in 1978 by Abe Roth, with a vision of building a firm on a set of values designed not just to create a better future for its clients and employees, but to positively impact our community and the world around us. Nearly four decades later, Roth & Co. is now the largest accounting firm in Brooklyn, with two locations, relationships that span more than three decades, and over eighty specialized employees ready to serve as trusted guides through the complicated maze of the financial world.
