US-based accounting, tax, and advisory company PKF O’Connor Davies (PKF) has expanded its reach with the launch of a new office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, US.

The new office, which provides 5,000ft² of workspace and on-site amenities, is situated in the heart of the city’s financial district at 200 East Las Olas Boulevard.

PKF O’Connor Davies executive chairman Kevin J Keane said: “As our work in southeast Florida continues to grow, the opening of our Fort Lauderdale office strengthens our market position and provides the necessary operating support to further scale our work in the region.

“We look forward to joining Fort Lauderdale’s thriving business community and welcoming new and existing clients to our state-of-the-art space.”

Last month, the company named Heyam Janell, with around 30 years of experience in public accounting, as its Partner.

Operating out of the company’s Providence, Rhode Island office, Janell supports the complete tax requirements of HNWIs and families.

In the same month, PKF O’Connor Davies garnered investment from Canadian entity Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments) and Bahraini private equity house Investcorp.

PKF looks to expand its service offerings with the investment.

It also plans to use the proceeds to bolster its balance sheet, carry out more M&A activities, and gain flexibility for investing in technology and new service lines.

PKF O’Connor Davies is the brand name for two independently owned entities, PKF O’Connor Davies LLP and PKF O’Connor Davies Advisory LLC.

PKF O’Connor Davies LLP, a licensed CPA company, offers attest services while PKF O’Connor Davies Advisory LLC and its subsidiaries offer tax and advisory services.
