Crowe LLP, a public accounting, consulting and technology firm, has entered into an agreement with KMJ Corbin & Company (KMJ),a California-based firm that provides accounting, auditing, tax and consulting services, for the KMJ team to join Crowe. The transaction, which is expected to close by mid-May, will enhance and expand the firm’s audit and tax services in the Southern California market.

“KMJ is a well-established firm with a great track record in delivering exceptional client service with experienced and knowledgeable staff,” said Wendy Cama, Crowe audit & assurance managing partner. “At Crowe, we are highly motivated to grow, especially in key markets such as California, but our decision to welcome the KMJ team to the Crowe family was grounded in a sense of shared values and culture.”

“The KMJ team, like Crowe, are problem solvers first and foremost. While this transaction will certainly be impactful for both of our teams, our shared clients will also benefit from our collective expanded skillsets,” said Nicole Bencik, Crowe tax managing partner.
