Moss, Krusick & Associates, a firm based in Winter Park, Florida, has added Hayes & Varga CPAs, a firm based in Orlando, effective Nov. 1.
As part of the deal, Hayes & Varga partners Richard Hayes and Renee Varga will be joining the MKA team which now includes 10 partners and 70 staff members, making MKA into one of the largest local firms in the Central Florida Market, with revenues of over $10 million. M&A consulting firm Transition Advisors helped both firms with the transaction.
MKA has offices in both Winter Park and Palm Beach, providing tax planning and compliance, assurance, outsourced accounting and consulting services to various industries.
“Adding the talent of the Hayes & Varga partners and their entire terrific staff helps us to better serve our growing practice and particularly gives us a tremendous presence in the Orlando marketplace,” said MKA Managing Partner Ed Moss in a statement. “We are enthusiastic about continuing the high level of service and expertise the Hayes & Varga partners have provided their tremendous client base. Their firm is well known and respected for excellent client service and a successful track record of practice growth and development. Their partners are highly respected within the accounting profession and we are proud to have them on our team.”
Hayes & Varga has been offering tax and accounting services, including QuickBooks training, to individuals and small businesses in the Orlando area since 1995. "While we are very proud of the history of our firm but we also recognize that the next step for our team and clients is to merge with a firm of comparable quality that would enable us to expand services to our local, regional, and national clients," stated Hayes & Varga Managing Partner Richard Hayes. “Renee Varga, Hayes & Varga’s other tremendous partner said “MKA shares our philosophy of helping our clients grow and succeed, and the merger will broaden and deepen our existing industry specializations, enabling us to offer more comprehensive business advice tailored to our clients and further embrace the technology needed to provide top flight services to accounting clients in 2019 and beyond.”
