HISTORY
About Us
Irving Schwartz started a one-man practice in New York City in 1948, and opened a second office in New Canaan, Connecticut in 1952. The practice was consolidated into one location in Norwalk in 1957. The partnership of Schwartz & Hofflich was formed with Henry Hofflich in 1960. Both founding partners have retired and the firm has grown to include seven partners.
Throughout our existence, we’ve helped many small entrepreneurs to prosper by becoming their close advisors. We’ve done it by learning as much as we could about their business and discovering the nuances that differentiate one from another. This knowledge and a high level of personal service is of the utmost importance to us. Client satisfaction leading to long-lasting relationships remains our primary goal.
We are members of DFK International an organization of independent CPA firms. DFK is represented in about 80 countries with over 300 offices and about 7,500 in combined personnel. We have these resources available to help us fulfill our clients’ needs, even though we remain an independent entity dedicated to providing our clients with the very highest quality of personal service. We can reach out to our fellow DFK members, for accounting, tax or financial assistance. Whether you do business locally, nationally or around the world, we have the capability to provide the highest quality services.
Company
Since 1948, we’ve made it our business to know what makes your business successful and how to keep it that way.
From our offices in Norwalk, Connecticut we continue to serve business and individual clients in the local, national and international sectors.
Our clients depend on us to function as their business advisors. They know our services will be thorough, complete and always explained clearly and fully. Moreover, the size of our firm allows our partners to know one another’s clients.
Our services are prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, and innovative: they are greatly enhanced by up-to -date continuing education, technology and most importantly by the working relationship of the partner and the staff accountant assigned to each client.
We find it challenging to help our clients run their businesses successfully. Whether large or small, we provide the highest measure of professional competence and personal service. For many of our clients, we’ve been more than accountants – we’ve been their business and financial advisors, and friends.
