“We are excited about joining forces with Withum,” says Karen Kowgios, one of the founding and managing partners of FK Partners. “Since our inception in 2003, our primary focus has been to provide the best possible technical and personal service to our clients in the theatrical industry. This union enhances our ability to pursue this objective by offering our clients access to Withum’s significant breadth and depth of resources, giving us the opportunity to continue to even more effectively serve as a trusted advisor.”

FK Partners provides tax, accounting, audit, and consulting services predominantly to commercial and not-for-profit theatrical clients both domestically and abroad. The firm has extensive experience and depth in providing the theatrical industry and related producers, general managers, and lawyers the essential services that these entities need in order to operate effectively.

“We are thrilled to have the staff from FK Partners come on board,” says Michael Stallone, CPA, the partner in charge of the acquiring firm’s New York City office. “Their expertise in serving clients in the theatrical industry will nicely augment our current commercial and not-for-profit practice areas.”

Phil Whitman and Barry Wagman of Whitman Business Advisors acted as facilitators in the transaction.
