Saginaw, Mich.-based Yeo & Yeo CPAs & Advisors (FY23 net revenue of $44.1 million) has merged in Berger Ghersi & LaDuke PLC (BGL) of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., effective July 1. The combined firm, which operates under the Yeo & Yeo name, will extend Yeo & Yeo’s presence in the southeast Michigan region.
“We are excited to welcome BGL’s professionals to the Yeo & Yeo team,” said David Youngstrom, Yeo & Yeo’s president and CEO. “Together, our firms have a combined 140 years of dedicated service, and we share a deep commitment to building strong relationships and providing close personal attention to our clients.”
For more than 40 years, BGL has built a solid reputation for delivering accounting, audit, tax and consulting services to individuals and businesses. BGL has extensive expertise in services for the real estate industry, high-end tax planning and preparation, and retirement plan audits. The firm specializes in peer reviews, a service that will be new to Yeo & Yeo.
BGL partners Alan LaDuke, David Berger and Jim McAuliffe will join Yeo & Yeo’s principal group. Alongside them, a skilled team of nine accounting and administrative professionals will also merge with Yeo & Yeo and continue to provide exceptional value to clients and maintain the high standards both firms are known for.
“We are pleased to have found a partner in Yeo & Yeo that shares our values and commitment to helping clients succeed,” said LaDuke. “As the accounting industry evolves and becomes more complex, this merger will allow us to stay at the forefront and present greater opportunities to enhance the experiences of our team and our clients.”
Yeo & Yeo plans to establish a new, larger office location in southeast Michigan to unite the talent of 30 professionals from Yeo & Yeo’s current Auburn Hills office and BGL.
