Extending its footprint in Northern California, San Francisco-based IPA 100 firm BPM LLP is merging in Avaunt Ltd. CPAs and Consultants of Sacramento. It is the firm’s second deal in the region this month.
Founded in 1985 by Perry Ghilarducci, Avaunt provides tax, accounting, bookkeeping, financial planning and consulting services to businesses in the restaurant and hospitality space, as well as medical industry practices and professionals. When the deal becomes effective on Aug. 1, Avaunt will rebrand under the BPM name.
“As a firm, BPM is committed to meeting clients where they are, which is why we are so pleased Avaunt plans to join us, providing an office and top-notch resources in California’s capital city,” says BPM North Bay PIC Michelle Muth Ausburn. “Throughout their long history in the market, Perry, Dorothea and their team have demonstrated a people-first approach much like BPM’s. Our deep relationships and business connections are instrumental to helping our clients get established, grow and mature.”
