The deals announced Thursday help the firm build its presence in Greater Montgomery County. Herbein re-established offices in Greater Montgomery County in 2016 with the acquisition of

“Greater Montgomery County is a dynamic, prosperous area with numerous vibrant communities,” said Herbein managing partner David Stonesifer in a statement. “Since our combination with Michael L. Cross & Company, we have consistently looked for opportunities to further our commitment to the area. Now, we are delighted to welcome Cappelletti, Pinter & Company and the LaMastra Group — firms that share our values and client-centric approach — into the fast-growing Herbein family. Like Herbein, Cappelletti, Pinter & Company and the LaMastra Group help a wide-ranging client base achieve their goals.”
Leaders of both the acquired firms see benefits in joining a larger firm. “We were looking for an opportunity to add more resources to our team, as well as more ways to help our clients face both the challenges and opportunities created by this historically unusual environment,” Cappelletti said in a statement. “Herbein has terrific experience in all of the areas we work in, and their team's expertise will complement and enhance our current service offerings, while bringing greater bench strength to serve our clients.”
“Joining Herbein is an opportunity to add more resources to our team, as well as more ways to help our clients face the challenges and opportunities of the post-COVID era,” said LaMastra in a statement.
