Top 200 accounting firm LGA has combined with McGaunn & Schwadron CPAs, a Needham, MA-based accounting firm known for providing services to veterinary and dental professionals.
In a media release, LGA says the merger broadens its industry expertise, allowing the firm to deliver more solutions to healthcare professionals.
Founded by Mark McGaunn, McGaunn & Schwadron is a veterinary and dental practice accounting firm, providing guidance in tax planning, financial management, valuations, and practice transitions to clients across New England and in more than 20 states, including Alaska, Oregon, and Washington.
“We are excited to welcome Mark McGaunn and his talented team to the LGA family,” John Geraci, managing partner of LGA, said in a statement. “Their specialization in veterinary and dental accounting and consulting aligns with the firm’s strategic vision of developing deep industry expertise to drive value to our clients beyond compliance. Mark’s client-centered philosophy is a great fit with our values, and we are eager to expand our reach within these vital industries.”
McGaunn added, “This merger presents a wonderful opportunity for our clients. By partnering with LGA, we will continue to deliver the personalized service our clients expect while gaining access to a broader array of resources, service offerings, and expertise. I’m particularly excited to offer our veterinary and dental clients enhanced business advisory and consulting services, including fractional CFO services, a deeper bench for business valuations, and transaction support if they are buying or selling a practice.”
This is the third deal Woburn, MA-based LGA has made in the last month. The firm also combined with Lexington, MA-based accounting firm Abbott & Co. on Nov. 4 and Salem, NH-based CPA firm Comolli & Co. on Nov. 6.
