Merger Bolsters J.H. Cohn Construction Niche

Super-regional CPA and business advisory firm J.H. Cohn LLP has expanded its construction services group unit via a merger with Red Bank, N.J.-based Callahan & Co., a three-partner, 16-person firm specializing in the construction niche.

Financial terms of the union, which became effective Aug. 1, were not disclosed. Going forward, Callahan & Co. will operate under the J.H. Cohn brand.

The 20-year-old Callahan & Co. has forged an industry niche servicing heavy highway and utility contractors, home builders, general contractors, specialty trades, and construction suppliers.

Following the completion of the merger, firm founder Jack Callahan, Michael Lipari and Amy Benbrook will join J.H. Cohn as partners.

J.H. Cohn ranked No. 20 on Accounting Today's Top 100 Firms list with revenues of $103 million and 90 partners.
