Avni & Fogel · Certified Public Accountants · New York City
Avni & Fogel is a two-partner CPA firm in New York, working with individuals and small businesses on accounting, tax, and planning for over 25 years.
What we do
No jargon, no billing you for a phone call. Here’s the work, and what it actually feels like to hand it to us.
Returns done right and on time, for individuals and businesses. We identify opportunities to maximize savings and keep you compliant with current tax laws. Beyond tax preparation, our strategic tax planning helps reduce liabilities and positions you for long term success. We also provide retirement planning advice and cash flow management solutions to help build financial stability, improve liquidity and confidently plan for the future.
Clean, current books — plus the reports that come off them: profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow. The numbers you need for a decision, a bank, or a loan, ready when you ask.
Your people paid accurately and on time, with the tax filings and compliance handled in the background so you don’t have to think about them.
Filings, reporting, and the state and local rules that trip businesses up — handled, so a missed deadline never turns into a penalty.
Setup, training, and troubleshooting for QuickBooks Online and Desktop. We’ll get it working the way your business actually runs — and stay on call when it doesn’t.
A steady hand for owners: practical accounting help and straight advice, so you can spend your attention on the business instead of the books.
A letter from the IRS or the state you’d rather not open? We deal with the agencies directly and work the problem to a resolution — you don’t face it alone.
Who you’ll be talking to
Avni & Fogel is run by its two partners — two experienced CPAs who cover, between them, the full range of what individuals and small businesses need. They’ve always taken the view that your accountant should be an advisor who knows your situation, not a stranger you see once a year.
