Top 40 accounting firm LBMC, which is based in Brentwood, TN, is merging in Louisville-based CPA firm Strothman & Co. on Nov. 1, expanding LBMC’s geographic footprint across multiple states. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The firm offers a wide range of services to organizations and individuals, including audit, assurance, tax planning, outsourced accounting, strategic advisory, and wealth management. Strothman has offices in Louisville and Middletown, KY, and in Jeffersonville, IN.

“We are very excited to be joining a nationally renowned team of experts, who bring complementary strengths to the table while being fully aligned on core values, exceptional client experience and culture,” said Bill Meyer, managing partner of Strothman & Co. “We believe this transaction will bring numerous benefits to both our team members and valued clients.”
