Baldwin is living proof that the merger frenzy taking place in the accounting profession is not just about the big firms,” said Allan D.

More importantly, the mergers have consistently provided additional value added services for the clients and greater growth opportunities for their people. I would expect to see many strategic mergers coming from Baldwin in the near future!”
