CohnReznick traces its roots to two separate accounting firms. J.H. Cohn LLP was founded in 1919 in New York City and grew into one of the largest independent accounting firms in the Northeast, known for its work with middle-market businesses and real estate clients. Reznick Group, P.C. was founded in 1977 in Bethesda, Maryland, and became a national leader in affordable housing and community development consulting, serving clients across the United States. In 2012, the two firms merged to form CohnReznick LLP, creating a top-20 national accounting and advisory firm with combined strengths in real estate, affordable housing, and the middle market. The merger was a strategic move to build a national platform capable of serving clients with complex, multi-state needs.

It became a member of Nexia International, a global network of independent accounting and consulting firms, enhancing its ability to serve clients with international operations. The firm has also invested in technology and advisory capabilities, including data analytics, cybersecurity, and transaction advisory services. CohnReznick is known for its thought leadership in affordable housing, publishing regular reports and hosting industry conferences. The firm remains a private partnership, owned by its partners, and is headquartered in New York City. It operates offices in major markets across the United States, including New York, Maryland, California, Texas, and Illinois. Over its history, CohnReznick has maintained a reputation for technical excellence, industry specialization, and a collaborative, client-focused culture.
