During 2023 and 2024, my firm and I had the privilege of working with Luft Advisory Services (LAS). As Getzel Schiff & Pesce LLP continues to grow, it becomes increasingly challenging to find top-tier talent. While we searched for full-time solutions, LAS stepped in to assist us on a project basis. They supported us in crafting client project proposals and analyzing the projected costs of delivering these services to our firm. One of the key projects LAS led was an initial audit engagement—a daunting task involving both a beginning balance sheet audit and a current period financial audit, all within a tight time frame. Jeffrey Luft, leading the team, seamlessly integrated with our GSP staff and ensured that we delivered the project on time. His ability to quickly adapt to our systems and gain a comprehensive understanding of the client’s systems and processes was remarkable. Moreover, Jeff personally assisted me with data analysis and various tasks, and through our collaboration and his extensive knowledge, we successfully delivered these projects to the client within the expected time frames and budgets. Jeff’s leadership, expertise, and dedication were pivotal in the success of this engagement, and I highly recommend Luft Advisory Services for any complex financial or operational needs.

Our client recently completed an M&A transaction, and we relied on Luft Advisory Services (LAS) for their extensive expertise in ASC 805 Business Combination accounting. The LAS team immediately took charge, diving into the valuation analysis, preparing the opening balance sheet, allocating intangible assets and goodwill, and delivering the necessary valuation models and accounting support/memos to ensure everything was properly recorded. Their deep M&A knowledge, paired with excellent face-to-face client interactions, gave our client confidence that the audit would be a success—and it was! Overall, LAS proved to be an exceptional thought partner to our firm throughout this engagement. I highly recommend them not only for M&A transactions but also for ongoing accounting and finance support.
