Our Story

For over 10 years, we've been transforming how manufacturers approach their finances.

Strategy and insight

Schapira CPA was founded with a vision to create a different kind of accounting firm - one that goes beyond tax preparation and annual compliance to become a true strategic partner in our clients' success.

Our specialization in manufacturing developed organically as we recognized the unique financial challenges these businesses face. From optimizing cost structures to identifying hidden profitability opportunities, we discovered our services made the most dramatic impact in this sector.

"We might know money, but we don't nickel and dime. Because I built Schapira on an all-year, all-inclusive relationship model. We play the long game alongside you, steadily growing a high-value business on solid fundamentals and smart executive action."

— MENDEL SCHAPIRA, FOUNDER & CHIEF CPA

Today, we're proud to serve manufacturers across the greater New York area, helping them navigate financial complexities, optimize operations, and achieve sustainable growth through our comprehensive approach.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower manufacturers and businesses to achieve financial success through unmatched expertise, strategic guidance, and a commitment to building lasting relationships founded on trust and integrity.

We believe in transforming the traditional accountant-client relationship from a transactional service into a true partnership. Every day, our team works to ensure that each financial decision you make leads to increased profitability and sustainable growth.
