Manhattan Congressman Charles Rangel has hired an accounting firm to review his personal finances as he tries to clear his name amid an ethics investigation.

Rangel's office said yesterday a Maryland-based firm will review his finances and issue a report to the House Ethics Committee.

Rangel heads the tax writing Congressional Ways and Means Committee.

He's been under fire for months over issues concerning his personal finances – including failing to report $75,000 in rental income for a beach house in the Dominican Republic.

Rangel has denied any wrongdoing.
