RIP ParenteBeard, We Hardly Knew Ye

Posted on October 3, 2014 by Adrienne Gonzalez

Well, it's official, ParenteBeard is no more.

The merger was effective October 1, and Baker Tilly has wasted no time slapping their logo all over Internet real estate that once belonged to ParenteBeard.

We haven't heard any further grumblings of layoffs or general discontent, but if you know something we don't, you know what to do.
