Buchbinder Tunick & Company LLP

What Buchbinder Tunick & Company LLP does

Buchbinder Tunick & Company LLP is a New York-based limited liability partnership providing audit, tax, and consulting services, founded in 1945. The firm's primary specialty is serving labor unions and employee benefit plans — covering 650+ such entities with $165 billion in total plan assets — alongside audit, tax, and advisory engagements for clients in manufacturing and distribution, real estate, and professional services. Services are delivered through partner-led engagements via direct enterprise relationships, with engagements typically scoped and priced on a quote basis rather than through standardized productized offerings.

The firm operates from four offices covering the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic: New York City (One Pennsylvania Plaza), Jericho NY (Long Island), Little Falls NJ (150 Clove Road), and Bethesda MD (6720-A Rockledge Drive, serving the Washington D.C. market). Its core go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with 125 audit, tax, and advisory professionals — including 16 partners — engaging directly with management, audit committees, and plan trustees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Effective January 1, 2024, Buchbinder Tunick & Company LLP was acquired by Weaver, a national accounting and advisory firm. The transaction integrates Buchbinder's team into Weaver's platform and is positioned to expand the combined firm's labor union and EBP audit practice nationally. Prior to the Weaver transaction, the firm had itself expanded via the acquisition of Iwanczuk & Associates on December 22, 2020.
