Citrin Cooperman Expands Florida Presence with Acquisition of Coral Gables based Sharff Wittmer CPA


Citrin Cooperman Advisors LLC, the premier professional services provider for private, middle-market businesses and high-net-worth individuals, today announced it has acquired substantially all the assets of Sharff, Wittmer, Kurtz, Jackson & Diaz PC (SWKJD), a Coral Gables, Miami-based accounting and advisory firm.

The combination brings together two organizations known for deep client relationships, trusted advice, and strong cultures rooted in collaboration, personal connection, and care for their people. The addition of SWKJD strengthens Citrin Cooperman's Florida presence and expands its ability to serve clients in the Miami market and beyond. SWKJD will join Citrin Cooperman with 5 partners/ managing directors and more than 30 talented employees, bringing specialized expertise with closely-held businesses.

"At Citrin Cooperman, we've always believed that strong firms are built through exceptional people and enduring client relationships," said Alan Badey, CEO of Citrin Cooperman Advisors LLC. "Early in our discussions, it became apparent that SWKJD shares our values around trusted advice, client-first service, and cultivating a culture where professionals are supported and empowered. We are excited to welcome the SWKJD team and continue growing in Florida with partners who truly align with our approach."

"This decision was made with a great deal of care, and with our clients and our people firmly at the center," said Luis Diaz and Joe Jackson, Partners of SWKJD.
