Goldblatt Bokoff marks its centennial with a celebration of its history, its people, and a new scholarship for local students.
Goldblatt Bokoff LLC celebrated its centennial on September 17, 2026 with a special anniversary gathering at Preston Ridge Vineyard in Preston. Approximately 150 clients, colleagues, family members, friends, community members, and business leaders came together to commemorate the firm’s history, recognize those who have helped shape its legacy, and look ahead to its next century.
Founded in Norwich in 1926 by Louis Goldblatt, Goldblatt Bokoff has grown from its beginnings into a firm that has served generations of families, businesses, and organizations. Throughout its history, the firm has remained grounded in the personal relationships, trust, and professional service that have defined its work.
The celebration also included recognition from the Connecticut General Assembly, with Goldblatt Bokoff receiving a legislative citation signed by Connecticut State Senator Heather Somers, State Representative Brian Lanoe, and State Senator Cathy Osten. Norwich Mayor Singh also joined the gathering to commemorate the firm’s 100-year milestone and present recognition from the City of Norwich.
“Reaching 100 years is a remarkable milestone, and it is one we are proud to celebrate with the people who have been part of our story,” said Steven Bokoff, partner at Goldblatt Bokoff. “Our firm has been built on relationships, trust, and a commitment to serving others. We are grateful for the generations of clients and team members who have helped shape Goldblatt Bokoff, and we look forward to continuing that tradition for years to come.”
Honoring a Legacy of Leadership and Service
The centennial celebration marked a significant moment in Goldblatt Bokoff’s history as longtime partners Michael and Rosa Goldblatt prepare for retirement. Their contributions to the firm, the accounting profession, and the community were recognized throughout the evening.
Michael Goldblatt, the son of firm founder Louis Goldblatt, helped carry forward the legacy established by his father. Before becoming a CPA and joining the firm, Mike worked as a social worker, and colleagues say his commitment to helping people remained central to his work in accounting.
Today, Goldblatt Bokoff continues under the leadership of partners Steven Bokoff, Denise Lindell, Amber Moore, and Brad Oatley as the firm begins its next century.
A Century Gift for the Next Generation
As part of its centennial celebration, Goldblatt Bokoff announced the creation of the Goldblatt Bokoff Scholarship, a new annual award for a local student pursuing accounting at CT State – Three Rivers in Norwich.
The scholarship, which the firm calls its “Century Gift,” reflects Goldblatt Bokoff’s longstanding commitment to the accounting profession, mentorship, and community.
“We spent a lot of time thinking about how to celebrate this milestone, and we knew we wanted to do something that extended beyond the celebration itself,” said Amber Moore, partner at Goldblatt Bokoff. “Education can have a tremendous impact on a person’s future. We hope this scholarship helps a local student pursue an education and opportunities that might otherwise be harder to reach.”
The scholarship will be awarded each year to support the next generation of accounting students at CT State – Three Rivers.
Looking Ahead to the Next Century
For Goldblatt Bokoff, the centennial is both a celebration of the past and an opportunity to look ahead. While the accounting profession continues to evolve, the firm remains focused on the personal relationships and professional service that have sustained it for 100 years.
“Technology can make things more efficient, but it can’t replace trust, judgment, or knowing the people you’re working with,” said partner Denise Lindell. “We’re grateful for the first 100 years, and we’re excited to continue the story.”
Goldblatt Bokoff looks forward to continuing its tradition of serving clients, supporting the community, and building lasting relationships for generations to come.
