— McLean-based firm joins UHY as the first office in the Commonwealth of Virginia —
UHY announced the addition of Ross, Langan & McKendree, LLP (RLM) to its nationwide slate of accounting and consulting offices.
The combination is central to UHY’s broader strategic growth strategy in the Mid-Atlantic region, marking the firm’s first expansion into the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Through this combination, RLM brings a talented team to UHY, including three partners, one principal, and 19 professional staff. RLM’s personnel will further increase the depth of UHY’s audit and tax teams, providing critical services for financial trusts, high net-worth individuals, and more.
“We are beyond thrilled to have RLM join our UHY team,” said Harold Mohn, Mid-Atlantic Regional Managing Director, UHY Advisors. “One of the most important aspects of any combination is the culture of the firm that’s joining your organization. RLM’s culture aligns with UHY, and we are truly adding a great team of people.”
“Our firm shares an undeniable chemistry with UHY and a mutual spirit of dedicated service for our clients,” said Colette Cahill, Managing Partner, Ross, Langan & McKendree, LLP. “We are pleased to bring our knowledgeable staff and critical resources together with UHY, and we are excited to build new relationships and expand our client success.”
All RLM professional and administrative team members join UHY and continue in their current roles, operating out of their previous McLean, VA office, and collaborating with UHY offices nationwide. RLM looks to be a critical addition to UHY, the 29th largest accounting firm in the U.S., with 31 offices and more than 1,500 team members.
The RLM transaction is UHY’s third combination in a year in the Mid-Atlantic region. In January 2022, UHY completed a transaction with TGM Group in Salisbury; in June 2022, UHY completed a transaction with Stoy Malone & Company, P.C., located in Towson. Nationally, UHY combined with several firms in 2022, including LWBJ in Des Moines, Iowa, Jansen Valk Thompson Reahm PC in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and Patterson, Hardee, & Ballentine CPAs in Nashville, Tennessee. Additional combinations for UHY are being finalized and will be announced in the coming months.
This RLM transaction was made possible through the valuable assistance of Ira Rosenbloom, CEO of Optimum Strategies, who acted as Strategic Advisor to both parties.
