Troy, Mich.-based IPA 100 firm Rehmann (FY24 net revenue of $219.4 million) has announced plans to combine with Teeling & Co., a Tampa-based CPA firm, effective January 1, 2026. The deal follows Rehmann’s June 2025 integration with Vero Beach firm Kmetz Elwell Graham & Associates (KEGA) and reflects the firm’s ongoing growth strategy across Florida.
The combination also highlights Rehmann’s commitment to advancing women in leadership. The firm was recognized as a 2025 Best CPA Firm for Equity Leadership by the Accounting MOVE Project for the sixth consecutive year.
Co-founded in 2017 by Barbara Teeling and Ashlie Teeling, Teeling & Co. serves business owners, executives and independent professionals with an emphasis on advising entrepreneurs throughout the business life cycle. The firm specializes in tax planning and preparation, accounting solutions, CFO outsourcing and succession planning.
“Harnessing the entrepreneurial spirit is an important part of our culture, and Barbara and Ashlie describe themselves as ‘entrepreneurs serving entrepreneurs,’” said Stacie Kwaiser, CEO of Rehmann. “Their associates will bring additional talent and knowledge to our firm, most notably in financial and accounting solutions, tax compliance and fractional CFO services. We are excited to work with their team as we continue to expand our presence in Florida.”
Teeling & Co.’s employees will remain with the firm, which will operate under the Rehmann name at its current Tampa location.
“I was immediately drawn to Rehmann because our cultures are so similar, especially when it comes to its unwavering commitment to its clients and staff,” said Barbara. “By joining Rehmann, we’re participating in a larger repository of knowledge that will allow us to offer our clients a more robust services team and further solidify our legacy.”
Both Barbara and Ashlie remain active in organizations supporting child welfare, including Safety Bears 4 Kids and Mary Lee’s House. Ashlie was named Partner of the Year by Mary Lee’s House in 2023 and also serves on the board of the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
“We’ve always wanted to stay independent, and combining with Rehmann affords us the ability to keep up with technology and talent without drastic changes for our clients,” said Ashlie. “Rehmann shares our people-first culture and entrepreneurial vision, and the partnership will allow us to offer ancillary services under one umbrella and serve new industries.”
