Anchin (now part of Baker Tilly)

Anchin, Block & Anchin LLP is a New York accounting, tax and advisory firm founded in 1923. It serves privately held businesses, investment funds and high-net-worth individuals and families, and its Private Client group runs a Family Office Support service alongside trusts and estates, philanthropy, art and pre-immigration work.

On 10 June 2026 Baker Tilly agreed to acquire Anchin, and the deal took effect on 1 July 2026. Baker Tilly made New York City its headquarters as part of the transaction. Russell Shinsky, Anchin's managing partner, became Baker Tilly's New York managing principal.

Key facts

• Founded: 1923, New York
• Status: Part of Baker Tilly (US) since 1 July 2026
• People: About 600 staff before the merger (Baker Tilly)
• Offices: New York City, Uniondale (NY), Boca Raton and Palm Beach Gardens (FL), and India

What the firm does

• Family office support: outsourced bookkeeping, bill payment, household payroll and cash flow oversight for wealthy households.
• Tax planning and compliance for individuals, trusts, partnerships and family entities.
• Trusts and estates: fiduciary accounting, estate and gift tax planning.
• Philanthropy: private foundation accounting and compliance.
• Art and collectibles advice, and pre-immigration tax planning for families moving to the US.

For family offices

Anchin suits families who want a CPA-led back office rather than building their own staff. It can run day-to-day financial administration and keep it tied into tax planning, or support an existing single family office with accounting, tax and estate work.

Joining Baker Tilly, a top-10 US firm backed by Hellman & Friedman and Valeas Capital Partners, gives clients access to a much larger national bench while the New York team stays in place.

Considerations and fit

Anchin is a tax and accounting firm, not an investment manager, so families will still need separate investment advice. After the merger, engagement terms and branding may move to Baker Tilly over time. Fees are not published.
