Company History
Prior to the establishment of RotenbergMeril, Neal Rotenberg was a senior tax manager with an international CPA firm and Larry Meril was a senior audit manager with a leading-edge national CPA firm. They shared a vision of creating an accounting firm that would bring the best of large and small firm qualities to clients. The two young professionals also shared a high-performance, innovative style and preference for forging close client relationships, and an unbridled enthusiasm for the possibilities that emerging technologies could bring to the profession.
Shortly thereafter, one of their former colleagues in the "Big 4", John Guttilla, brought his dynamic New York style and expertise to the practice. Subsequently, the firm merged with the accounting practices of Les Solomon, who was a partner in a successful firm in Northern New Jersey, and Barry Bertiger, a partner in a well-known Central New Jersey firm. Later that year, Mr. Bertiger was instrumental in opening RotenbergMeril’s Woodbridge, New Jersey office. Recently, Tony Torchia joined the firm as a partner, merging in his Paramus based accounting practice.
The merger with Les Solomon and Barry Bertiger, and later Tony Torchia added partners who share the same vision, enthusiasm and style as Neal and Larry, and helped create a unique blend of national and local firm experience. Scott Young was invited into the partnership to help build and round out the SEC and ERISA practices, based on Scott’s 30 years experience. This combination gives the firm the distinct competitive advantage of understanding and effectively managing both large and small clients across diverse industries. Because of our significant growth, RotenbergMeril is today a respected regional accounting firm offering clients the expertise of an international accounting firm, but with a more personal touch. .
