“We are happy to be taking this next step in the expansion of our leadership team and the development of our practice,” said Malone in a statement. “Our SEC audit practice has grown to the size where it requires a full-time, dedicated practice leader and this has always been a passion of mine. Wesley is the right person to lead the firm in this next phase of our growth from a strategic and administrative perspective. His private company and tax background will enable us to expand our firm's market and services at just the right time.”

“Having served as a partner with the firm for over a year now, I have had an opportunity to work closely with John and my other partners to envision the future for the firm,” said Middleton. “I am confident that I can carry out our plans to continue to grow our national SEC audit practice, while expanding our reach to include a broader mix of tax services and an increased emphasis on building our private company practice.”
