Top 20 accounting firm Citrin Cooperman said Tuesday it has acquired LGA, an INSIDE Public Accounting top 200 firm based in Woburn, MA, expanding its presence in New England.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. Citrin Cooperman adds 150 professionals as a result of the acquisition.
This is New York City-based Citrin Cooperman’s third M&A deal of 2026. In February, it acquired Browne Consulting, a Boston-based firm that provides accounting and other advisory services to the life sciences and biotech sectors. It also acquired Sharff, Wittmer, Kurtz, Jackson & Diaz PC, a Coral Gables, FL-based accounting and advisory firm, in May.
Citrin Cooperman has been one of the most aggressive accounting firms making M&A deals in recent years, completing more than 30 acquisitions since 2019, many of them after receiving private equity backing in 2022.

Founded in 1980 and with additional offices in Chestnut Hill, MA, and Salem, NH, LGA is an accounting and business advisory firm led by Managing Partner John Geraci. The firm has built a solid reputation for its advisory-led approach, long-standing client relationships, and commitment to serving lower-middle-market and small-to-midsized business clients.
“LGA has built an outstanding firm, and from our first conversations it was clear that John and his team share our belief that great firms succeed by investing in their people, embracing innovation, and earning clients’ trust every day,” Alan Badey, CEO of Citrin Cooperman Advisors, said in a statement. “That shared mindset, combined with LGA’s exceptional reputation, makes this a natural fit. We’re excited to welcome the LGA team as we continue growing our presence across New England.”
As is typical for firms that operate in alternative practice structures, the transaction will consist of Citrin Cooperman Advisors acquiring certain non-attest assets and Citrin Cooperman & Co. acquiring certain attest assets of LGA.
“This combination represents an important step forward for our firm, our clients, and our professionals,” Geraci said in a statement. “We’ve always believed that if you build the right environment, one grounded in trust, shared values, and balance, the results will follow. Citrin Cooperman shares that belief.
“Our longstanding relationships with Citrin Cooperman partners like Mark Henry, built over many years in the Boston market, reinforced for us that this was the right cultural and strategic fit,” he continued. “By joining Citrin Cooperman, we can preserve what makes LGA special while giving our team broader opportunities, additional support, and access to continued investments in innovation and AI-enabled capabilities.”
With more than 3,300 professionals, Citrin Cooperman is an independent member firm of the Moore North America Inc. Association, which is itself a regional member of Moore Global Network Ltd., one of the world’s leading accountancy and advisory networks with over 37,000 professionals across 227 independent firms working in more than 114 countries.
