About Us
A New York accounting firm built on a simple idea
Do the work right, explain it clearly, and treat every client like they matter. Nearly five decades later, that's still how we operate.
Our history
From a solo practice to a full-service firm
The firm is founded
Ebrahim Lunat, CPA, opens his practice in New York City, building a client base rooted in trust and hands-on service.
Lunat & Associates is formed
Following Mr. Lunat's passing, the firm reorganizes as Lunat & Associates, carrying forward his standards while expanding capacity to serve more clients.
A full-service practice
Lunat & Associates serves individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations across New York and beyond, with particular depth in nonprofit and Form 990 compliance work.
Our motto
SQIF: Service, Quality, Innovation, Fun
It's a simple acronym that shapes how we run engagements — from the first consultation to the fiftieth filing.
Service
Clients get direct access to the people handling their accounts — not a call center.
Quality
Accuracy and diligence on every filing, every reconciliation, every year.
Innovation & Fun
Modern tools and a genuinely good working relationship — accounting doesn't have to be miserable.
