CohnReznick Launches Public Finance and Sustainability Practice, led by Ted Kowalsky

May 18, 2026 — CohnReznick today announced the launch of its Public Finance and Sustainability Practice, to help public sector, nonprofit, and sustainability driven clients access capital more effectively, structure innovative finance solutions, and advance sustainability goals in an increasingly complex funding environment. 

Led by CohnReznick partner Ted Kowalsky, the practice brings together the firm’s public finance and sustainability advisory capabilities and will support a wide range of government needs, including capital structuring, climate risk analysis, regulatory and disclosure readiness, and sustainability linked financing.

“Public sector and sustainability focused clients are increasingly looking for blended solutions that combine public funding with tools like green bonds, C PACE, and resilience financing,” said Frank Banda, Managing Partner, Government and Public Sector Advisory leader – CohnReznick. “By integrating our public finance and sustainability teams, CohnReznick can more seamlessly help clients access higher value financing structures, attract impact and concessional capital, and deliver outcomes that meet both financial and sustainability objectives.” 

“By aligning financing strategy with sustainability and resilience goals from the outset through our new integrated practice, CohnReznick advisors will be able to help clients access capital more effectively,” said Ted Kowalsky, Partner and Leader of CohnReznick’s Public Finance and Sustainability Practice. “Clients benefit from a single team that understands both the funding landscape and the expectations of stakeholders, investors, and regulators.”
