About the firm

Three generations in the profession. One practice built on it.

I started working in an accounting firm in 1981, following both my father and my grandfather into the profession — Richard Simon CPA, LLC is a third-generation practice in every sense. Over the decades I've been a partner at small firms, mid-size firms, and regional firms, which means I've seen how good accounting scales, and where it breaks down as a business grows.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from Ithaca College with a minor in Computer Science, and a Master's in Taxation from Baruch College (1993) — a combination that shows up in how the firm works today: sound tax judgment paired with a genuine comfort with the systems and software that run a modern practice.

That range of experience, across firm sizes and industries, is what clients are really hiring when they come to Richard Simon CPA, LLC: someone who has already seen their situation before, more than once. Clients are based throughout the country, and meetings happen in person at the Syosset office or online — whichever fits.
