Withum, one of the nation’s top advisory, audit, and tax firms, is proud to announce that Forbes has named Russell Goldberg, Partner-in-Charge of the Firm’s Boca Raton and Orlando offices, to its prestigious 2025 Top 200 CPAs in America List. Goldberg oversees Withum’s continued growth and community impact across South Florida, playing a significant role in strengthening the region’s business, nonprofit, and professional landscapes.

Goldberg, a long-serving tax expert with more than 35 years of experience, was recognized by Forbes for his leadership, strategic vision, and deep involvement throughout the Sunshine State. He specializes in individual and corporate taxation, partnership matters, and complex tax controversies. As a leader advancing Withum’s technology, innovation, and recruitment initiatives, he has been instrumental in elevating the next generation of professionals—work that includes the Firm’s educational partnership with the University of Central Florida and mentorship programs reaching students in the region.

In South Florida, Goldberg is widely known for his civic engagement and philanthropic leadership. He serves on the board of the Jewish Pavilion of Central Florida and remains active in industry-shaping organizations including the HLB Tax Technology Group and Thomson Reuters AI Coalition, where he helps advance technology integration within the accounting profession.

This latest honor adds to an already impressive list of recent recognitions, including being named to the South Florida Business Journal’s 2025 Power Leaders List and induction into the University of Central Florida College of Business Hall of Fame.

“Boca Raton’s business community is growing stronger, more sophisticated, and more innovative every year,” said Russell Goldberg. “To be recognized by Forbes during such a dynamic time for South Florida is truly an honor—and it reflects the commitment of our entire Boca Raton team.”

Alongside Goldberg, Forbes also recognized Withum Audit Partner Ed O’Connell, honored for his national leadership in advisory services, complex accounting, and philanthropic involvement. With more than 30 years of experience, O’Connell’s influence within Withum’s multi-national practice areas and his board service—including the Global Lyme Alliance, Tech United, and Rider University—strengthens the Firm’s national reputation for excellence.
