In a move to bolster its risk and accounting advisory practice, Richmond, Va.-based IPA 100 firm Cherry Bekaert (FY22 net revenue of $293 million) has acquired risk and compliance advisory firm Accume Partners of Mount Laurel, N.J.
Founded in 1994, Accume provides internal audit, risk management, compliance and advisory services – with a particular focus on IT risk management and cybersecurity – to clients in a number of regulated industries, including financial services.
“In response to the ever-increasing regulatory requirements, Cherry Bekaert is focused on growing our practice with top talent to meet the needs of our clients,” says Srikant Sastry, advisory leader at Cherry Bekaert. “The Accume Partners team brings a track record of success in internal audit that will be additive along with a geographical expansion of our practice.”
