BKD LLP is adding Loeb & Troper LLP, effective July 15, allowing the Springfield, Missouri-based Top 100 Firm to expand in New York.
Loeb & Troper specializes in audit and consulting services for health care, managed care, special needs, nonprofit and education organizations. Its staff will remain in their current office in Midtown Manhattan, and the office will be led by BKD partner Ryan Reiff.

“We want to extend a warm welcome to our new BKD team members,” said BKD CEO Ted Dickman in a statement. “Loeb & Troper’s commitment to client service will help us achieve our mutual goals as we move forward. In addition, their location in New York City — America’s financial capital — gives us greater access as a firm to key areas of our strategic growth, such as the private equity and capital markets.”
Loeb & Troper has approximately 15 partners and 100 total personnel. They will be joining BKD’s approximately 280 partners and 2,650 total personnel.
