Andersen Acquires California Firm and Opens San Diego Office

The business consultancy firm Andersen has announced a new San Diego office as the firm expands its presence in Southern California. The move comes after the professionals from Reibman, a leading San Diego-based tax compliance and planning firm, joined Andersen.

The new San Diego office is the latest move in Andersen’s aggressive growth strategy, following the firm’s February 2023 U.S. expansion in Orange County (Calif.), Pittsburgh and Des Moines; and the September 2023 launch of Andersen’s Global Valuation practice across more than 20 countries worldwide throughout Europe, Latin America, Asia, and North America.

“We are creating a unique global platform for businesses and private wealth clients around the globe who turn to us for independent tax assistance and a variety of multidisciplinary professional services, integrated seamlessly and with the high quality and service that our clients have come to expect from Andersen,” said Andersen Global Chairman and CEO Mark Vorsatz. 

Dan DePaoli, U.S. Country Managing Director for Andersen, added, “The professionals from Reibman share our commitment to stewardship and client service, bringing to bear their own unique combination of skills and knowledge to serve the exciting San Diego market.”

The new San Diego office will include Managing Director Allen Reibman, whose team of a half dozen professionals will join Andersen’s Private Client Services practice led by Andersen Managing Director Chad Thiel.

“Greater San Diego is home to the second largest population of Californians, with one of the highest concentrations of wealth in the country in areas like Del Mar, La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe,” said Thiel. “The decision to expand our presence in Southern California was an easy one – especially when we factored in the additional benefits our clients will receive from the experienced and highly-regarded Reibman team.”
