“Epstein + Nach is exceptionally well-equipped to skillfully communicate technical knowledge and educate our clients in complex financial and accounting matters,” Dr. Epstein said. “I am fortunate to have the opportunity to join forces with Ralph Nach, who has served the accounting profession for more than 35 years and created a curriculum of engaging, interactive continuing education programs that has attracted a loyal, national following in the public accounting profession.”
