In this role, he leads OA’s tax policy and economics practice, helping clients navigate New York’s complex fiscal and incentive landscape.
At Ostroff Associates, Anthony advises clients across multiple sectors, including manufacturing, entertainment, clean energy, maritime infrastructure, and port modernization on incentive strategy, fiscal impacts, and legislative positioning. His work spans the full spectrum of New York State’s tax and economic development ecosystem: from advising global firms on high-impact credit and incentive structures, to supporting shipping, logistics, and port-related organizations in navigating regulatory, financial, and decarbonization frameworks. In addition to his policy portfolio, Anthony contributes across Ostroff’s functional areas, collaborating with colleagues to advance client goals related to budget strategy, business development, and government affairs.
Prior to joining Ostroff Associates, Anthony served as the Unit Chief of the New York State Division of the Budget’s Economics and Revenue Unit (ERU). In this role, he supervised a large team of economists and revenue analysts responsible for the Division’s economic and revenue forecasts and the preparation of the Executive’s revenue and tax policy proposals as part of the Executive Budget. Anthony worked closely with the New York State Senate and Assembly in negotiating a diverse spectrum of tax policy initiatives, including proposals that expanded the State’s tax incentives for businesses and individuals, with a focus on economic development and revitalization, job growth, and tax simplification. His leadership contributed to shaping fiscal policy consulting and government affairs strategy at the state level.
Prior to his role at the Budget Division, Anthony spent 19 years with the New York State Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee, serving for the last three years before his departure as Director of Tax and Economics, where he supervised a team responsible for developing the Assembly’s tax policy proposals. In this role, he worked extensively with Assembly leadership and members, helping to identify and implement the Majority Conference’s policy priorities. Anthony also served as Director of the Assembly’s Tax Study Commission, overseeing analysis of the State’s tax incidence and tax reform initiatives as part of the Assembly’s broader public finance and revenue policy consulting work.
In addition to State service, Anthony spent six years with PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Hospitality and Leisure practice as Research Manager, advising a variety of Wall Street investment banks as well as large publicly traded and private hotel firms on market growth, fiscal trends, and economic forecasting.
