Elliott Davis Decosimo to shorten name

Top 100 Firm Elliott Davis Decosimo LLC has announced that it will be rebranding itself Elliott Davis on Nov. 1.

The firm has had its current name since January 2015, when Greenville, S.C.-based Elliott Davis merged with Chattanooga,Tenn.-based Decosimo. (See “Elliott Davis merges with Decosimo to create regional mega-firm.”)

“The original name has vast recognition and a strong presence in the marketplace, especially in the current footprint of the firm,” said Nick Decosimo, shareholder and Chattanooga market leader, in a statement. “This is a change we will all champion as one firm.”

The name change is part of an overall rebranding campaign, the firm announced.

“We are celebrating the vitality of the brand and our recommitment to the communities we serve, our employees, and our clients as Elliott Davis,” said CEO Rick Davis in a statement.

As Elliott Davis Decosimo, the firm ranked No. 33 on Accounting Today’s Top 100 Firms list, with $125 million in net revenue for 2016. It has more than 750 employees in nine offices in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and the Cayman Islands.
