Leading advisory, tax and assurance firm Baker Tilly today announces its intent to acquire CironeFriedberg, a highly respected CPA and advisory firm in Connecticut. This strategic acquisition strengthens Baker Tilly’s presence in the Northeast, creating essential connections between New York and Boston.
“Expanding in the Northeast is a critical step in our long-term growth strategy,” said Fred Massanova, Baker Tilly’s chief growth officer and managing principal – Eastern U.S. “CironeFriedberg brings a wealth of experience and industry expertise, further solidifying our commitment to this market.”
Tony Cirone, managing partner of CironeFriedberg, stated, “Joining Baker Tilly is an exciting opportunity for our firm and clients. The expanded reach and additional resources will allow us to provide even greater value and innovative solutions while maintaining the personal service our clients have come to expect.”
