VP, Platform Engineering

Why We Stand Out

Seeking a career-defining opportunity where your leadership, strategic vision, and client expertise are recognized and rewarded? Kaufman Rossin might be just the place for you.

As one of the top accounting firms in the country, our foundation is “people first.” In the words of James Kaufman, “we prioritize our people, their development, and their well-being. Our values are translated into action every day.”

Kaufman Rossin is a privately owned, independent public accounting firm, which means we are not beholden to outside investors or private equity influence. This independence allows us to prioritize long-term client relationships, maintain objectivity in our advisory approach, and make strategic decisions that benefit our people and clients, not external stakeholders. Our structure fosters agility, entrepreneurial thinking, and a collaborative culture where leadership is accessible, and innovation is encouraged.

Celebrated as the Best Place to Work in South Florida over a dozen times, Kaufman Rossin has grown to over 700 employees, with offices spanning the tri-county area, including sister entities Kaufman Rossin Wealth and Kaufman Rossin Alternative Investment Services.
