Long Island. Giving back to the community
that I love is part of who I am,
and I hope that I can inspire others to
give back with me.”
Acosta has also hosted other charities
and supported them financially,
including the yearly breast cancer
walk at Jones Beach and the Special
Olympics, among others.
“Coming from a modest upbringing, I
understand what it means for families
to stress about finances and struggle
to make ends meet,” he says. “If I can
reduce their taxes in some areas, and
help children have a Thanksgiving
meal and a toy for Christmas, Hanukkah,
or Kwanzaa, then I think it is a
life well lived.”
A FAMILY AFFAIR
While Sean’s company has been successful,
his biggest point of professional
pride goes far beyond business
success. The ability to work alongside
his son, Sean Acosta Jr., the vice president
for legal affairs for Property Tax
Reduction Consultants, is priceless.
Sean Acosta Jr., is an attorney who
navigates the legal complexities of
the property tax grievance process
while interfacing with customers and
cementing the foundation for another
30 years in the field.
The elder Acosta says his son’s command
of technology and his legal
know-how is exactly what is needed
to once again bring Property Tax Reduction
Consultants into the future.
“Sean is smart, personable, and has
the exact skill set needed to succeed
in this industry,” says his father. “It
is humbling to see his success in the
industry, and it gives me the confidence
that this company will continue
to help Long Islanders long after I am
retired — which, I may add, is not
happening anytime soon!”
When asked about working with his
father, Sean Jr. says with a grin: “It’s
been an amazing experience to work
alongside my father and to help ensure
that his mission of assuring that
Property Tax Reduction Consultants
clients pay the lowest possible property
tax as required by law will continue
— especially in the Covid-19 era.”
He continues, “Many people on Long
Island are financially distressed,” he
says. “I can see that our mission here at
Property Tax Reduction Consultants
is more important now than ever.”
