Aldrich, an Oregon-based firm, has announced the acquisition of Spokane-based accounting firm HMA CPA. This deal expands Aldrich's presence, marking its entry into the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho markets, and enables it to offer HMA's clients a broader range of services, thus strengthening its position as a leading provider of financial and business advisory services in the Western U.S.
Lake Oswego, Ore.-based firm Aldrich (FY23 net revenue: $86.2 million) has announced the acquisition of HMA CPA, a well-established accounting firm based in Spokane, Wash. This strategic move marks Aldrich’s entry into the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho markets, expanding its footprint to eight offices across the Western U.S., including Oregon, California, Colorado, Utah, and Washington.
“We share with HMA a commitment to serving our people, our clients, and our communities and are honored to build on HMA’s 40-year legacy,” said John Lauseng, CEO of Aldrich. “We are excited to work together to help Spokane- and Coeur d’Alene-area companies, owners, and employees meet their financial goals.”
A Legacy of Excellence and Growth
Founded in 1983, HMA CPA has built a reputation for delivering exceptional client service and fostering long-term relationships in the Spokane community. Over the years, the firm has expanded its offerings and grown through acquisitions, establishing itself as a trusted partner for local businesses and individuals.
The acquisition will see HMA’s leadership team, including CEO Kevin Sell, as well as partners Kristi Bushnell, Laura Hays, and Mike Whitmore, join Aldrich along with their team of professionals.
“Joining Aldrich will allow our team to deliver even more value to our clients, as well as create growth opportunities for our professionals,” said Sell. “Aldrich shares our entrepreneurial spirit, and we look forward to providing enhanced services to our Spokane-area clients through Aldrich CPA + Advisors, Aldrich Wealth, and Aldrich Capital Advisors.”
Strengthening Services and Capabilities
Aldrich is recognized as one of the top 70 accounting firms in the U.S. and is composed of three specialized divisions:
• Aldrich CPAs + Advisors LLP, delivering tax, audit, and advisory services.
• Aldrich Wealth LP, managing over $6 billion in assets as a Registered Investment Advisory firm.
• Aldrich Capital Advisors LP, providing expertise in business transactions and M&A advisory services.
This combination will enable Aldrich to offer HMA clients access to a broader suite of services, including advanced tax strategies, wealth management, and business advisory solutions.
