Our Staff

Jacob "Izzy" Zuber, CPA graduated from Boston University with a BSBA in 1974 and an MBA in 1975. After a couple of "start-up" positions for Boston CPAs, he joined the firm of Richan, Dubinsky and Company, then located in Wakefield, MA, in June, 1977. Upon successfully completing the CPA Exam in 1978, he became a junior partner in the newly named Richan, Dubinsky and Zuber. The firm had several changes and moves over the years - Dubinsky, Zuber and Company of Lynn, MA; Zuber, Bonardi and Company of Brookline, MA; Zuber and Freedman of Brookline and Brighton, MA; before culminating in the current Jacob I Zuber, CPA, PC. After almost 21 years at our Chestnut Hill Ave location, we moved to the 1894 Beacon St #2, Brookline, MA 02445 address. You will find more details about that elsewhere on this site. We look forward to continuing to provide our clients with many happy returns (if you are not groaning at that, you are not paying attention).

The staff is Tova Laster, a graduate of U-Mass Amherst's Isenberg School of Management. Although she is now working for me from NY, she continues to perform a multitude of tasks for me, both administrative and in the accounting functions for clients. Most issues in the office still run through her so you better be nice to her.
