Mitts succeeds Paul Cheney, CPA, who founded the office in 1985, and will now serve as senior principal in the office and focus on business development and corporate finance services for clients.

"Kathy has played an active role in the management of our Cincinnati office since joining the firm in 2003," said firmwide managing principal Nick Decosimo.  "Having Kathy succeed Paul Cheney as the office's managing principal was a natural progression and will allow for continuity in leadership and assure a smooth transition while Paul remains an active principal with the firm."

In addition, Chris Flaig, CPA, has been named principal-in-charge of assurance services. He joined the firm in 2007, and is also the firm's government niche leader.
