Anchin joins SB-EDGe;
Expands economic development reach

NEW YORK -- Accounting giant Anchin, Block & Anchin, LLP has formed a strategic alliance with the SB-EDGe consortium, expanding the scope of the firm's economic development services to companies nationwide.

Recognized as one of the "best of the best" accounting firms in the country (Accounting Today), Anchin is the go-to firm in the greater New York area for business economic development services. Anchin's dedicated practice group is composed of policy experts with backgrounds in local, city and state government and tax professionals experienced with the nuances of government tax credits and grants.

"As a strategic alliance partner, Anchin's active participation will expand SB-EDGe's scope of services and enable clients of the alliance to optimize the value of government incentives," according to Richard Imprescia, Executive Director of Anchin's Business Economic Development Services. "Experienced economic developers, attorneys and accountants will combine resources to deliver expert services that will set a new industry standard of excellence in the optimization of business incentives and tax benefits. In addition, Anchin will better serve the needs of our clients with business economic development services beyond the Tri-State area."

SB-EDGe is the worldwide leader in economic development and land use services. Anchored by the venerable law firms of Stadtmauer Bailkin and Akerman Senterfitt, SB-EDGe has provided its clients with over $3.5 billion in government incentives since its inception. The consortium services a diverse range of clients including Fortune 500 and middle market companies, developers, landlords, tenants, and non-profit organizations in all jurisdictions in the U.S.

"We are delighted to have Anchin join SB-EDGe," said Michael Bailkin, chairman of SB-EDGe. "The expertise of the Anchin Economic Development Services Group is a perfect complement to the incentives and zoning/land use expertise of our other partners. Clients served by SB-EDGe will truly have access to a full range of value-added services."

With a staff of 375, Anchin serves privately-held businesses and high net worth individuals with a wide range of traditional and non-traditional advisory services, including financial statement preparation; tax planning and compliance services; economic development and tax incentives; management and succession advisory services; litigation support, forensic accounting and valuation services; merger and acquisition services; and wealth management.
