Top 200 accounting firm Yeo & Yeo has acquired Amy Cell Talent, a provider of human resources services, and rebranded it Yeo & Yeo HR Advisory Solutions, with Amy Cell assuming the role of president.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
Based at the SPARK East Innovation Center in Ypsilanti, MI, Amy Cell Talent has specialized in delivering tailored HR solutions to businesses, nonprofits, municipalities, and job seekers across Michigan since the company was founded in 2015.
As part of Yeo & Yeo’s ongoing growth, more than 20 of Amy Cell Talent’s HR professionals will join Yeo & Yeo HR Advisory Solutions, which is the Saginaw, MI-based accounting firm’s fifth interconnected business. The other four include Yeo & Yeo CPAs & Advisors, Yeo & Yeo Technology, Yeo & Yeo Medical Billing & Consulting, and Yeo & Yeo Wealth Management.
“We are excited to welcome Amy Cell Talent’s professionals to the Yeo & Yeo team,” David Youngstrom, Yeo & Yeo’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “This partnership enhances our ability to meet our clients’ HR needs, helping them succeed in new and exciting ways.”
This expansion allows Yeo & Yeo to offer a comprehensive suite of HR and recruiting services, including compensation planning, employee training and coaching, policy development, payroll management, employee engagement and retention strategies, and recruiting.
Cell began her career as a CPA with top 15 accounting firm Plante Moran before transitioning into HR, where she held pivotal roles, including vice president of talent enhancement and entrepreneurial education at Ann Arbor SPARK and senior vice president of talent enhancement at the Michigan Economic Development Corp., before founding Amy Cell Talent nearly 10 years ago.
Amy Cell Talent is a Gold Resource Partner with the Michigan Council of the Society for Human Resource Management, has been recognized as an Ann Arbor SPARK FastTrack Award winner, and one of Michigan’s Small Business 50 Companies to Watch.
“Joining Yeo & Yeo marks an exciting new chapter for our company,” Cell said. “From the start, it was clear that we share the same core values—putting people first, fostering trust, and striving for excellence in everything we do. What excites me most is the opportunities it creates for our clients. With Yeo & Yeo’s breadth of expertise and resources, we can offer more comprehensive, innovative solutions than ever.”
While Amy Cell Talent will undergo a rebranding, everything else will remain consistent, she said.
“A lot is happening in the HR landscape right now, including changes to Michigan minimum wage laws and earned sick time,” Cell said. “Yeo & Yeo HR Advisory Solutions is here to help our clients navigate these complexities and solve their HR challenges with confidence.”
