PROVIDENCE – The regional accounting firm BlumShapiro last week announced it has merged with Premier Accounting Group based in Connecticut.
The merger took effect on Jan. 1, and expands the BlumShapiro footprint in the region.
“This merger represents an ideal cultural match for us,” said Joseph A. Kask, BlumShapiro CEO. “Premier is a long-established, highly respected and trusted name in accounting, and having them as part of the BlumShapiro team means even more value delivered to our clients on a daily basis.”
The merged firm will retain the BlumShapiro name. The expansion will grow its total number of employees to more than 500 people, according to a press release.
BlumShapiro, based in Connecticut, is one of the largest accounting firms in Rhode Island.
