We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our esteemed colleague, Lawrence “Larry” Sax, at the age of 95. Larry dedicated an extraordinary 66 years of his career to Beers, Hamerman, Cohen & Burger, PC, where his professionalism, integrity, and leadership set a standard of excellence.
Larry’s distinguished career began after graduating from NYU in 1951 and earning his CPA license in Connecticut in 1954. From 1951 to 1953, he served in the U.S. Army’s Audit Agency, demonstrating his commitment to precision and accountability. A founding partner of Schwartz and Sax, CPAs in 1959, Larry’s vision and leadership guided the firm through decades of growth, evolving into Cohen, Burger, Schwartz and Sax in 1999 and ultimately becoming Beers, Hamerman, Cohen & Burger.
Larry’s dedication to the accounting profession was reflected in his 70-year membership in the Connecticut Society of CPAs, where he served on the Board of Governors for three years, as well as his nearly 70-year affiliation with the American Institute of Accountants. His contributions to the field were both enduring and impactful, leaving a legacy that will continue to guide future generations of professionals.
We extend our deepest condolences to Larry’s family and to all who had the privilege of working alongside him. His commitment to excellence and his profound impact on the firm and the profession will not be forgotten.
