RubinBrown Expands Service Groups Over the past six months, RubinBrown has greatly expanded and enhanced its services in three major areas. The firm launched the St. Louis area’s first Media and Entertainment Services Group, formed a Professional Services Group, and expanded the Hospitality Services Group to include gaming. “We’re proud to have longtime expertise in each of these areas,” said John F. Herber Jr., CPA, managing partner. “The media and entertainment and gaming industries represent rapidly growing segments of the market, and professional services firms are key players in so many industries. Our partners and team members have the experience and knowledge to guide their businesses’ growth and profitability.” Headed by Lawrence E. Rubin, CPA, the Media and Entertainment Services Group offers traditional accounting, auditing, tax and consulting, as well as wealth management, assurance and litigation support services. “RubinBrown has been working in this area for 50- plus years, and the growth has been explosive in the last three to five years,” explained Rubin. “St. Louis is home to several nationally known entertainers, authors, broadcasters, athletes and sports agents, plus we represent broadcast and cable groups across the country. We have approximately 15 team members working in this area now, so we wanted to formalize our focus on the media and entertainment industries.” Media and Entertainment Services Group
