Cherry Bekaert LLP, one of the largest accounting and consulting firms in the nation, is pleased to announce the addition of 25 professionals to its South Florida regional practice.
Cherry Bekaert is adding two Partners and 23 associates formerly with the Miami office of CBIZ, Inc. and Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. As a nationally recognized, growth-oriented CPA firm, Cherry Bekaert’s South Florida practice has been on a strong growth trajectory with more than 140 professionals and more than $30 million in annual revenue.
