Prager Metis

Prager Metis

Prager Metis operates as a mid-tier accounting and advisory partnership headquartered in New York. Its client base spans high-net-worth individuals, entertainment professionals, and closely held businesses, many of which overlap with the family-office ecosystem. The firm is best understood as an infrastructure provider — it handles the compliance, tax preparation, and entity structuring that underpin family capital management, rather than sourcing or allocating invested capital. The firm's service mix covers audit, tax planning, business management, and advisory engagements. For family-office clients, its work typically involves estate and gift tax strategy, cross-border income structuring, and trust accounting. Prager Metis also maintains a specialty practice serving musicians, athletes, and actors — a segment where personal-service corporations and touring entities require bookkeeping and royalty-tracking that can sit adjacent to a family's broader wealth management apparatus. The geographic footprint is domestic, anchored in the New York metro area, with additional presence in California, Florida, and London. Team scale and governance structure are not publicly detailed. As with most accounting partnerships, leadership rotates among a partnership group, and the firm's public communications emphasize practice-area depth over named individual profiles. No recent dated operational event could be verified from primary sources. Prager Metis differs structurally from wealth managers or multi-family offices in that it carries no discretionary investment mandate. Its role is fiduciary and administrative, not allocative. For a family office evaluating service providers, this creates a clean separation — Prager Metis can be the bookkeeper and tax preparer while a separate CIO or OCIO handles deployment.
