CohnReznick expands US presence with PIASCIK team integration
This move is part of CohnReznick's growth strategy to integrate firms that enhance its 'client value proposition' and reinforce its 'people-first culture'.
The addition of PIASCIK is set to strengthen CohnReznick's private clients services and international tax practices.
PIASCIK's team is stated to possess tax expertise, which includes tax strategies for high-net-worth individuals, athletes, and international tax services.
This combination also expands CohnReznick's geographic reach in the mid-Atlantic region, adding a Richmond office to its existing network in Metro DC, Baltimore, Charlotte, and South Florida.
PIASCIK partners Steve Piascik and Ryan Losi will retain their client relationships while taking on expanded roles within CohnReznick.
Piascik has been appointed as the Richmond Office managing partner, and Losi will join the international tax team.
Koltin Consulting Group CEO Allan D. Koltin was the advisor for both firms on the deal.
CohnReznick Advisory LLC CEO David Kessler said: 'We are very excited to have the PIASCIK team join CohnReznick. Steve Piascik and Ryan Losi have built a highly successful firm with an exceptional reputation in the marketplace.'
'Culture is the most important factor in long-term success and the PIASCIK team shares our commitment to driving a culture committed to outstanding client service, rewarding our people, and helping to make a difference in the many communities we serve.'
Steve Piascik added: 'As the business landscape becomes increasingly complex and our profession continues to change, we sought a new platform to help us secure our next chapter of success. I am thrilled that CohnReznick will help us continue our legacy. With a robust strategy to propel success, CohnReznick shares our commitment to excellence and strategic growth.'
In February 2025, CohnReznick secured investment from funds advised by Apax Partners, a private equity company.

The Bank of Glen Burnie Expands Mortgage Services Through Acquisition of VA Wholesale Mortgage, Inc.
Joining forces will expand The Bank of Glen Burnie's mortgage business line both in products and footprint, and will grow VA Wholesale Mortgage's reach and strength under The Bank of Glen Burnie name. GLEN BURNIE, Md., Aug. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Bank of Glen Burnie®, a wholly owned subsidiary of Glen Burnie Bancorp (NASDAQ: GLBZ), continued its plans for growth and expansion through today's completed acquisition of VA Wholesale Mortgage, Inc., announced Mark C. Hanna, President and CEO of Glen Burnie Bancorp and The Bank of Glen Burnie (the 'Bank'). VA Wholesale Mortgage ('VAWM'), a veteran-owned-and-operated business, is headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and has an office in Jacksonville, Florida. The mortgage brokerage offers home financing to a wide range of customers, with a special focus on serving active-duty and retired members of the U.S. armed forces. Shop Top Mortgage Rates Personalized rates in minutes A quicker path to financial freedom Your Path to Homeownership Hanna commented, 'Bringing VA Wholesale Mortgage into The Bank of Glen Burnie is a win-win for the Bank, for VAWM, and most importantly, for all of our customers. VAWM CEO Eric Tan and his team have created a company with a stellar reputation for service. The Bank of Glen Burnie will add strength to their efforts by providing a consistent source of capital to fund growth. In addition, we will take on administrative responsibilities, such as human resources, IT, and finance, allowing them more time to serve clients, which is their forte. Plans call for the Bank to grow the team with originators in Anne Arundel County and expand as demand increases. 'VAWM will help us quickly grow our mortgage offerings, both products and reach, much faster than we could organically. In addition to traditional mortgage products, VAWM has expertise in FHA, VA, and first-time homebuyer mortgages, as well as mortgages with lower downpayment requirements. This accomplishes the goal of The Bank of Glen Burnie serving our growing customer base at a higher level, including the small business owners, their employees, and families who have chosen to bank with us. A home is the single largest purchase most people will ever make. Working with a knowledgeable and experienced team like VAWM ensures you get the mortgage that is best for your situation, instilling confidence as you undertake homeownership or refinancing. I couldn't be more excited about the benefits this acquisition will bring, especially for our customers.' VA Wholesale Mortgage, Inc., established in 2019 and beginning operations in early 2020, has an impressive team of experienced mortgage originators, including CEO Eric Tan. In 2024, VAWM closed approximately $125 million in mortgage loans. Tan, a U.S. Navy veteran now based in Jacksonville, Florida, has nearly 25 years of mortgage industry experience. 'When it comes to mortgage lending, there is not much I haven't done,' Tan said. 'It is important to me that we not only provide mortgages but also help customers understand the choices and decisions they are making, ensuring they safeguard their financial well-being. As we become part of The Bank of Glen Burnie, that focus will continue. Having a committed funding source will broaden our reach, allowing us to grow and meet the needs of our customers more readily, while also increasing lending volume. 'Mark and his team are in a strong market. We look forward to serving the mortgage needs of their current customer base and expanding it, including through outreach to veterans and active-duty military personnel. We understand what our military personnel need and can connect with them in ways most lenders cannot. While we originate mortgages for everyone, that special focus sets us apart, and it will be a key part of our growth.' Current plans call for VA Wholesale Mortgage to operate as a dedicated division of The Bank of Glen Burnie for the foreseeable future. Fairfax, Virginia-based Milestone Mergers and Acquisitions, led by managing partner Gary Freedman, assisted The Bank of Glen Burnie through all phases of the transaction.
