Wichita, Kan.-based IPA 200 firm AdamsBrown LLC (FY22 net revenue of $43.1 million) is merging in Manhattan, Kan.-based VonFeldt Bauer & VonFeldt (VBV).
With local roots dating back more than 40 years, VBV provides audit, tax and accounting services to clients in a variety of industries, including agriculture, construction, health care, municipalities, manufacturing and closely held businesses. As part of the deal, the entire VBV leadership team – including Aaron VonFeldt, Houston Pierce, Aaron Koehn, Sarah Johnson and Kathy Couchman – will join AdamsBrown in similar leadership roles.
“We knew we wanted to have a presence in Manhattan, and further strengthen our position in central Kansas,” says AdamsBrown MP and CEO Ben Wilson. “As soon as I met the VBV leadership team, I knew they’d be a great fit for us. Their experience, local roots and shared values resonate greatly with our firm, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome them to the team.”
