Plante Moran, a leading accounting and advisory firm, is set to expand its international footprint by merging with JA Del Río, a firm based in Guadalajara, Mexico. This strategic move, effective July 1, marks Plante Moran's largest international expansion to date, adding 500 employees across Mexico, Colombia, and Costa Rica to its existing team in Mexico.
The merger is part of Plante Moran's broader strategy to enhance its presence in key international markets, including Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. Jason Drake, managing partner of Plante Moran, emphasized the firm's commitment to serving clients globally, stating, "We're really excited about this because it continues to show the marketplace that we want to serve our clients no matter where they have operations."
JA Del Río has been a long-time partner of Plante Moran, making this merger a natural progression of their existing relationship. Bernardo Del Río, managing partner at JA Del Río, will assume the role of managing partner for Plante Moran's Latin American offices. The combined firms will cater to a diverse range of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, and more.
Plante Moran, ranked No. 14 on Accounting Today's 2026 Top 100 Firms list, is exploring further market opportunities beyond its current operations in the U.S., Mexico, China, India, and Japan. While the firm is open to additional mergers, its primary focus remains on organic growth through team development and exceptional client service.
