They will be great stewards of our combined growth and expanded service portfolio to our Nashville clients.”

“We have long been aware of Marcum’s strength in the middle-market and see tremendous synergies between our firms, particularly given Marcum’s focus on construction in Nashville, which is a great complement to our design-build client portfolio,” Werthan stated. “My partner and I, as well as our staff, are excited to be part of the Marcum organization and are eager to get started on our work together.”
