Martini Partners, LLC, a public accounting firm headquartered in Encino, CA, joined its practice with Withum, a nationally recognized CPA and advisory firm with 18 offices and annual revenue of $360M, ranking in the top 25 firms in the country. Steve Martini, Founding Partner, Kevin Holmes, Assurance Practice Leader, Christopher Passmore, Managing Partner of Martini Partners, and 50 additional team members will be added to the Withum roster and remain at their current location.

“The last two years have demonstrated that our employees and clients truly rely on us,” said Christopher Passmore, CPA, MBA, Managing Partner, Martini Partners. “We are so excited to join forces with Withum to expand our depth of services and to provide unparalleled career opportunities for Martini Partners team members.”

“I am very excited about the tremendous amount of value that this union of our two firms will bring to both our client base and team members,” said Steve Martini, CPA, MBA, Founding Tax and Business Advisory Partner, Martini Partners.

Withum’s Managing Partner and CEO Bill Hagaman, CPA, CGMA, is equally as excited about this union as it expands the Firm’s footprint on the West coast. “Finding the right strategic partner located in the Los Angeles business community is an important part of our vision for growth in Southern California. We found the perfect match with Martini Partners in terms of expertise, geographic location and culture.”

Additional strengths resulting from the Withum and Martini Partners union include enhanced industry expertise and specialized tax services in the Consumer Products, Entertainment, Hospitality, Healthcare, Real Estate and Technology industries.

“For Withum, entering the Los Angeles market was the next logical step after successful combinations in Orange County and San Francisco,” said Allan D. Koltin, CEO of Koltin Consulting Group, who advised both firms on the combination. “Interestingly they waited until they found the perfect match, both culturally and strategically. Martini has the size, talent base, and the “entrepreneurial engine” which aligned perfectly with Withum. It won’t take a long time for this combination to double or triple their presence in Los Angeles.”
