Kaufman Rossin Launches New Practice to Support Private Equity Funds and Portfolio Companies
Kaufman Rossin, an independent CPA and advisory firm based in Florida, has launched Kaufman Rossin PE (KR PE), a new practice designed to provide full lifecycle services for private equity funds and their portfolio companies. The initiative aims to support deal teams from initial screening through acquisition and post-acquisition value creation until exit, as well as assist fund managers with operational needs such as setup, compliance, audits, and wind-down processes. KR PE focuses on lower-middle market and middle-market private equity firms and operates across multiple sectors including technology, healthcare, manufacturing, business services, and consumer products. The firm emphasizes its independence from private equity ownership, which it claims differentiates it in a competitive landscape where many advisors are owned by PE entities themselves. This structure is intended to ensure long-term commitment and alignment with clients' interests. Kaufman Rossin has extensive experience working with founder-owned businesses across their lifecycle stages, providing M&A support and operational insights that align well with the needs of private equity firms.
