Rehmann, a US-based professional advisory firm, has announced business combination with Martinet Recchia, a Ohio-based family-owned CPA firm.
Martinet Recchia provides tax and business consulting services to industries including construction, manufacturing and distribution, restaurant and hospitality, and professional services.
Martinet Recchia, established in 1955 by Thomas and Richard Martinet, has been a family-owned business with Richard’s son Keith Martinet still on board as a shareholder.
Managing shareholder Joseph Recchia, who joined the firm in 1998, will also remain, along with all other shareholders and staff members, said Rehmann in a press statement.
Rehmann CEO Stacie Kwaiser said: “We’re thrilled about this mutually beneficial business combination and what it means for our clients and their organisations.
“Both firms share similar cultural values and philosophies related to client service, striving to be good community partners, and supporting the areas in which our associates live and work. The added expertise and capacity on both sides will allow us to continue maximising client potential in Ohio and beyond.”
