“I am very pleased to have Leon Dutkiewicz and the staff of D&H Global Tax join our firm,” said Citrin Cooperman CEO, Joel Cooperman. “We’ve built a strong bench of international tax and consulting specialists to advise our clients in an increasingly global marketplace. Leon is the perfect person to lead this practice and help our clients remain competitive and successful.”
“D&H Global Tax is a natural fit for Citrin Cooperman,” said Mark Carrow, regional managing partner of Citrin Cooperman’s South-Atlantic Region. “With a global, big-picture outlook, technical proficiency on complex matters, and a culture and standards that closely align with our own, I expect Leon and his staff to transition seamlessly into the firm and look forward to working with them.
D&H specializes in international tax issues, planning, and preparation for clients that are U.S. expatriates and non-U.S. persons with filing obligations. For their high net worth clientele, D&H takes a holistic, multi-faceted approach focused on tax planning and compliance, financial services advisory, insurance and risk management, tax controversy, and audit representation, as well as family office and back office services. They advise clients across multiple industry sectors, including alternative investments, manufacturing, oil and gas, professional services, real estate, sports and entertainment, technology, and transportation and logistics.
“When exploring options to join a larger firm with value-added resources to help serve our clients, Citrin Cooperman was by far the top of the list,” said Dutkiewicz. “Big firm resources combined with personal, tailored client service is exactly what our high net worth international clientele expect, and Citrin Cooperman delivers. We’re thrilled to be joining the firm.”
