For more than 45 years, Grassi has redefined what it means to be an advisor and accountant to today’s businesses and individuals. Founded in 1980 by Louis C. Grassi, with just an empty filing cabinet and a desk, the firm has grown into one of the nation’s largest accounting and advisory firms, with more than 550 professionals across ten offices in the U.S. and abroad.
Recognized as the 52nd-largest accounting firm in the nation and 8th-largest in the Mid-Atlantic, Grassi provides a full range of advisory, tax, accounting, audit and technology services to both publicly and privately held companies, as well as individuals. The firm serves key industries including construction, architecture and engineering, manufacturing and distribution, real estate, health care, financial services and nonprofit organizations.
At the heart of Grassi’s work is a simple but powerful mission: to create success for clients and people. This purpose drives every engagement and client relationship. Grassi advisors work alongside their clients to help them solve problems, plan for growth and prepare for the future — placing people at the center of every solution.
Grassi has garnered client satisfaction rates more than twice the industry average and received the Best of Accounting Award for exemplary client service for five consecutive years. The firm has also been ranked 15 times as a “Best of the Best” firm by INSIDE Public Accounting and named a Best Place to Work by multiple publications, including Vault’s Top 25 Best Accounting Firms to Work For, where it achieved the #1 ranking for Client Interaction.
Independence Through Employee Ownership
In an accounting industry marked by rapid consolidation and private equity investment, Grassi took a pioneering step toward sustaining its independence by launching an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This privately funded ESOP, free from outside investors, aligns the firm’s achievements directly with those of its clients. Every U.S. employee has the opportunity to share in ownership, fostering a culture of shared success, long-term stability, and commitment to excellence.
