And a bit of news on these firms in our pages:
• BKD picked up Grant Thornton’s community hospital practice in Witchita, KS this summer and a partner died of a massive heart attack in his office.
• Weiser announced their merger with Mazars back in the spring and we spoke with Weiser’s Doug Phillips about the combination.
• Baker Tilly Virchow Krause merged with Beers + Cutler last November and they are also picking up the pieces at Koss.
• Amper Politziner & Mattia happily (?) became the second half of EisnerAmper.
Discuss, deride and whathaveyou for the 31 to 40 crowd.
