About us

ULLR is very old Norse god. So old, that there isn’t much recorded about him. What we do know is that he was the god associated with archery, hunting and the winter. His historical depictions frequently show him with either skates or skis on his feet. Because of this, many view him as the modern god of skiing. This is the kind of ‘god’ that Chris and Drew would certainly enjoy hanging out with.

Chris and Drew are both avid skiers…technically snowboarders and spend quite a good amount of time in their endless pursuit of that perfect run on a beautiful powdery trail. In the winter months, you can be sure that they will be sampling the conditions at one of the many mountain resorts found in the Northeast. As sharing these experiences makes them that much sweeter, they always make sure to bring along their friends, families, and more often than not, a client or two to share the adrenaline rush.

Chris may be the slightly more adventurous of the two, being a backpacker, as well as a rock and ice climber. If he’s not on his snowboard, there’s a good chance that you will find him and his wife off on one of their many backpacking excursions in some remote part of Alaska. That said, Drew is no slouch himself when it comes to being active. In addition to being an avid runner, Drew has been practicing and teaching martial arts for over two decades.

This is who we are, and what we love. We think it’s important for our clients to know us from this perspective in addition to just viewing us in our professional lives. We absolutely love and appreciate nature and the outdoors, and this love and appreciation gives us unique perspectives in both our personal and professional lives. We’re not just CPAs and business/litigation consultants, we’re two people who try and experience life to the fullest both personally and professionally.

It’s a toss-up on who you’d want on your side in an apocalypse (possibly Chris as he’s managed to walk away from more than one aggressive moose encounter with hardly a scratch). Similar to their professional areas of expertise, it would depend on the challenge you were facing. Luckily, you don’t have to make that choice with your accounting or advisory needs. Drew and Chris work together on many of their engagements which gives you the benefit of their combined knowledge and experiences.

Chris and Drew met in the Forensic and Dispute Services practice of one of the “Big 4” accounting firms back in 2003. They struck up an almost immediate friendship which has now spanned almost two decades. Founding ULLR Accountants & Advisors together is a result of the mutual respect and trust that grew along with that friendship. It’s certainly a milestone for each of them, similar to when they were members of each other’s wedding parties years ago.

In addition to his role at ULLR, Chris is a respected adjunct professor of forensic accounting in the graduate program at CUNY Baruch. He volunteers his time as an educator and as an expert witness with a number of not-for-profits that provide legal assistance to victims of domestic violence. He can often be found testifying in court and in arbitration as an expert regarding many of the complex accounting issues we encounter on our engagements, or providing understanding and advice to counsel on others.

Drew specializes in providing consulting services related to real estate, property management and the trades (HVAC, plumbing, construction, electrical, welding & many others) in addition to his expertise in litigation matters. He has also successfully owned and operated a number of businesses in his career. He may not look like your typical CPA, however he’s been the Controller, CFO, bookkeeper and tax compliance professional for many entities, large & small, for over twenty years.

Chris and Drew would each, individually, be a strong asset for your company, engagement or transaction, but together they cover many more bases. They’re not only the professionals you want in your corner when you need expert accounting advice, they’re also the people you would enjoy having a drink next to the fire at the ski lodge once the work is all done.

We look forward to being on your team.
