FLINT – Plante & Moran is buying accounting firm BKR Dupuis & Ryden effective July 1, adding 60 staff members, seven partners and $7.5 million in annual revenues to one of the Midwest?s largest professional services companies.
PM Managing Partner Bill Hermann said the addition of BKR Dupuis & Ryden’s Flint office closes the gap in the firm’s geographic footprint in mid-Michigan while positioning itself to better reach clients in the Flint, Saginaw, and Midland corridor. BKR Dupuis & Ryden also maintains an office in Ann Arbor. They will relocate to PM?s Ann Arbor office.
“Our goal is to be the accounting and consulting firm-of-choice for businesses, municipalities, school districts, and not-for-profit organizations in Michigan and the entire Great Lakes region,” Hermann said. “And we’re positioned to serve these clients with a team of professionals right in their backyard.”
Dave Gibbons, Managing Partner of BKR Dupuis & Ryden said the firm’s clients and staff now have access to a larger knowledge base, more advisors with in-depth industry specialization and additional services.
“Our staff is excited about the opportunities to develop professionally with the highly regarded Plante & Moran team. And coming into a culture that has won them accolades as one of Fortune magazine’s ‘100 Best Places to Work in America’ for seven years running is exciting in and of itself.”
Plante & Moran offers a wide range of assurance, tax, and consulting services in the areas of strategy, finance, operations, technology, people, and transactions. The company employs nearly 1,400 professionals in 17 offices throughout Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Tennessee and China. The firm posted revenue last year of $210 million.
