Carmel, Ind.-based IPA 100 firm Blue & Co. LLC (FY23 net revenue of $132.9 million) has expanded into Detroit, Mich., by merging with Mellen Smith and Pivoz (MS&P), effective Nov 1.
“Expanding into a new market like Michigan is a pivotal step for our firm,” said Brad Shaw, managing director of Blue & Co. “The combination of Blue and MS&P represents a union of two like-minded firms that shares the same core values and commitment to strategic growth, client service and a people-centric culture.”
Blue & Co. will be adding more than 20 employees from MS&P with expertise in federal, state and multinational tax planning and compliance, business valuation and consulting services. This includes three partners joining from MS&P: Jason Pivoz, Jeffry A. Campeau and Mark L. Smith.
“Blue & Co. is going to provide our clients and people with access to the resources, knowledge and expertise that help them not only grow, but thrive,” said Pivoz, director at MS&P and the director in charge of the new Blue & Co. Detroit office. “We are excited to see what the future holds as we embark on this new journey together.”
