Their practice lines up well with some of our existing strengths, especially in key verticals such as the Construction industry and Employee Benefit Plan Audits. We look forward to serving the needs of their existing clients under the MHM name, and creating new relationships in the Seattle market. I am confident we will see continued growth in the Pacific Northwest under the local leadership or Mary Actor.”
