Rothstein Kass, a New Jersey-based accounting firm that specializes in providing services to hedge funds as well as private equity and venture capital firms, said it is opening a Boston office with 34 professionals.

Boston is the ninth office for Rothstein Kass. The firm said it now has more than 1,100 employees.

The Boston expansion comes shortly after a team of 16 family office professionals joined Rothstein Kass from Boston-based JDJ Resources in late July, Rothstein Kass said.

“Boston was the logical next step in our national expansion,” Steven Kass, co-chief executive and co-managing principal of Rothstein Kass, said in a statement. “We have established ourselves as a national leader serving the financial services industry and Boston’s financial community is thriving. There is a tremendous amount of opportunity and talent in this region and we look forward to being part of the city for years to come.”
