Platform Accounting Group has expanded with the addition of DHS Advisors, formerly known as D.H. Scott & Company.  

California-based CPA firm DHS, which has been operational for nearly 40 years, has a workforce of around 30 staff.  

It serves a diverse clientele across various economic sectors, including manufacturing, construction, and healthcare. 

The company also provides services such as litigation consulting and expert witness testimony in bankruptcy, fraud investigations, and valuation.  

By joining Platform Accounting Group, DHS Advisors’ team of directors are expected to gain access to expanded resources and support, facilitating further growth. 

DHS Advisors co-managing partners Paul Catanese and Keith Hunting said: “We are looking forward to this next chapter of our business. 

“We value our clients and employees immensely. Joining Platform opens up new opportunities and increased stability to our employees, so they can continue to provide best-in-class service.”  

Platform Accounting Group states that it has experienced growth, more than doubling in size annually over the past seven years.  

The group now employs nearly 1,000 people across almost 15 states and is claimed to have a “market-leading low turnover rate”.  

It is developing an ecosystem to deliver collaborative, top-tier professional services, ranging from tax to wealth management and ERP consulting. 

Last month, Platform Advisors, the professional services division of Platform Accounting Group, announced the addition of Finance à la Carte.  

Launched in 2017, Finance à la Carte is a boutique accounting firm focused on the restaurant industry. 

It will integrate with the Platform Business Advisors team, enhancing expertise in restaurant and food industry tax and accounting services.
