RENO, NV — Muckel Anderson CPAs of Reno, Nev., will become part of Eide Bailly LLP, a regional certified public accounting and business advisory firm, on Nov. 3, 2014. The union will give Eide Bailly, one of the top 25 CPA firms in the nation, a total of 25 offices in 12 states and raise its professional count to 1,481, which includes 215 partners. This is the first Nevada location for Eide Bailly, and it will also create the first regional CPA firm in Reno.
“This addition to our firm fits perfectly with our strategic plan to grow our presence west of the Mississippi River and into the Intermountain Region to better serve our clients,” said Dave Stende, Eide Bailly managing partner/CEO. “Muckel Anderson has been a member of ourPracticewise group for years, which has allowed us to get to know each other well. They have the same commitment and passion for client service as us, and now, as the first regional CPA firm in Reno, mid-size companies in the region will have access to an expanded array of specialty services, including international tax, cost segregation studies, health care reform consulting and more.”
Butch Anderson
, managing partner of Muckel Anderson, will serve as the partner-in-charge for the office. He echoed Stende’s enthusiasm for the opportunities that will come with joining Eide Bailly. “I’m excited about how much more we will be able to offer our clients,” Anderson said. “Eide Bailly’s resources and expertise will give us tremendous depth of service, especially for our clients in the health care, government, non-profit and renewable energy sectors. In addition, becoming part of Eide Bailly will free our partners from having to handle many administrative tasks and give them more time to focus on client service and staff development, essential factors in the success of any CPA firm. Staff will also benefit from expanded career opportunities and top quality training.”
Muckel Anderson’s affiliation with Practicewise was also a convincing factor, Anderson said. “We’ve had many years to get to know the Eide Bailly partners and staff because of Practicewise, and we have nothing but respect for how Eide Bailly operates as a firm. We want to be a part of what Eide Bailly is creating.”
“This is a great time to enter Northern Nevada,” Stende added. “The region continues to emerge from the recession as a strong business center, and we look forward to the opportunity to help businesses there continue to succeed.”
