San Fran Firm Merges In Competitor

Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP has inked a deal to its second major merger this summer, with the planned acquisition of Walnut Creek, Calif.-based Leibowitz Shumaker Berger & Holsworth LLP.

LSB, which has four partners and an additional staff of 25, has provided accounting services to a range of East Bay clients for the past 25 years. That staff will more than double the manpower of BPM's existing Walnut Creek office, which has two partners and about 15 employees.

In July, the firm completed a merger with San Jose, Calif.-based Brach, Neal, Daney & Spence LLP.Combined, the new firm will have more than 225 employees -- including 28 partners -- with offices in San Francisco, San Jose, Palo Alto, Calif., and Walnut Creek, Calif. BPM ranked No. 100 on Accounting Today's 2006 list of Top 100 Firms, with revenues of $24 million. The firm expects to crack $30 million in revenues with the acquisitions.
