Top 50 Firm UHY has merged in Michigan-based accounting firm Baird, Cotter & Bishop PC, effective June 12.
Founded in 1924 in Cadillac, BC&B offers a full range of audit, accounting and tax services, concentrating heavily on local government audits. Its two offices, in Cadillac and Traverse City, will bring UHY up to a total of nine offices in Michigan.
"Baird, Cotter & Bishop has vast experience serving government entities, which will deepen our bench as a trusted service provider to the public sector," said UHY's Great Lakes regional managing partner, Tom Callan, in a statement.
Terms were not disclosed, but the deal is expected to add 40 team members to UHY, including four partners: BC&B managing partner Trent Mulder, and Scott Hunter, Michael Cool and Ryan Howell.
UHY ranked No. 28 in Accounting Today's 2023 list of the Top 100 Firms, with $307 million in revenue, 122 partners and over 1,500 staff. BC&B is expected to add approximately $6 million in revenue.
"We're thrilled to join UHY as it allows us to provide expanded services and resources to better serve our clients and additional opportunities for our employees," said Mulder, who will serve as MP of UHY's Cadillac and Traverse City offices, in a statement. "There is great chemistry between the two firms and a strong alignment and vision for the future."
"UHY is excited about our continued growth in Michigan," said Scott Miller, a managing director at UHY, in a statement. "We expanded into Western Michigan late last year with our combination with JVTR and are looking forward to expanding into Northern Michigan with the team at Baird, Cotter, and Bishop."
