Cleveland-based accounting firm Cohen & Co. is acquiring Michigan's Gordon Advisors, expanding its presence in the state and enhancing its service offerings as well as expertise in tax, assurance, and advisory services. Both parties highlight the cultural and technical alignment between the companies, viewing the acquisition as beneficial for serving middle-market businesses and high-net-worth individuals in Michigan.
Cohen & Co., a top 50 accounting firm based in Cleveland, Ohio, is set to expand its presence in Michigan through the acquisition of Gordon Advisors, an accounting and business consulting firm located in Southeast Michigan. The acquisition, effective June 1, marks Cohen & Co.'s first merger and acquisition deal of the year. Financial terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
All client service team members from Gordon Advisors, including five leadership team members, are expected to join Cohen & Co. post-acquisition. The firm will maintain its headquarters in Troy, Michigan, while Cohen & Co. plans to consolidate its existing suburban location in St. Clair Shores to Troy later this year. This strategic move aligns with Cohen & Co.'s ongoing investment in the Michigan market, where it has been active for a decade.
Founded in 1954, Gordon Advisors employs approximately 50 professionals and specializes in providing tax, assurance, and advisory services to closely held and real estate entities in the middle market, as well as high-net-worth individuals. The acquisition is expected to enhance Cohen & Co.'s service offerings and deepen its expertise in these areas.
Cohen & Co. CEO Chris Bellamy expressed enthusiasm for the acquisition, highlighting the shared commitment to serving middle-market businesses and the community. Paul Arment, president of Gordon Advisors, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the cultural and technical alignment between the two firms. Legal counsel for the transaction was provided by Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP for Cohen & Co. and Plunkett Cooney for Gordon Advisors.
