Castro previously served as a tax office managing partner for BDO’s Fort Lauderdale and Miami offices, and del Cerro-Fals served as a tax partner in the Miami Office. As co-tax office managing partners of the firm’s offices across Miami-Dade and Broward counties, Castro and del Cerro-Fals will manage all aspects of the local tax practice and oversee compliance and quality within the tax department. South Florida Tax Managing Partner Mike Farra, who served as the interim tax office managing partner for all BDO’s South Florida offices following BDO’s combination with MBAF, will work alongside Castro and del Cerro-Fals, focusing on collaborating with other leaders across Florida to grow the statewide market share. Myers, who has served as BDO’s tax office managing partner for the West Palm Beach office since 2014, will also now oversee the Boca Raton office. In this expanded role, she will manage both offices’ tax practices and serve as the private client services co-leader for the firm’s Southeast region.

Socorro, who also serves as managing partner for BDO’s Southeast risk advisory services practice, will oversee all aspects of the local advisory services provided to clients across South Florida offices in his additional role. He has nearly 30 years of experience working with Fortune 500, emerging growth companies and other businesses in a wide array of industries worldwide on matters including the preparation for IPOs or other liquidity events, M&A transaction advisory and due diligence, IFRS audits of financial statements and more.
