Troy, Mich., – July 9 2024 – Rehmann,
a fully integrated professional advisory firm, continues its expansion across
Michigan with the announcement of their upcoming business combination with Walker,
Fluke & Sheldon PLC (WFS), a West Michigan-based CPA firm. The business
combination will be effective August 1, 2024.
Founded in
1976, with offices in Hastings, Ionia and Richland, WFS has forged a reputation
of going above and beyond for clients, providing comprehensive business
solutions while also building personal, lasting relationships. Working both
with non-profit organizations and for-profit companies, WFS currently numbers
22 associates and offers client services ranging from bookkeeping to estate
planning.
“WFS is known regionally as a great community partner in West Michigan and shares Rehmann’s values of fostering meaningful relationships with clients,” said Stacie Kwaiser, CEO of Rehmann. “The collective WFS associate team will be a great addition to the firm and will help us continue to maximize client potential in that region.”
The business
combination will bring additional value and resources to meet client needs,
including technology and cyber-consulting, HR solutions, and CFO advisory
services, among others.
“We are incredibly excited to be joining the Rehmann family and look forward to the new opportunities it will provide for our associates and clients,” said Kathy Sheldon, Managing Partner of WFS. “I am eager to continue working directly with our clients, maintaining our commitment to providing the best services and building the best relationships possible. Rehmann shares all our core values, and we are confident this business combination will allow all parties to flourish.”
Operating under the Rehmann name, WFS’s three locations will remain open, and all employees will continue to report to their respective offices.
“This mutually beneficial decision will offer Rehmann and WFS associates the chance to learn from one another,” said Stephen Blann, COO of Rehmann. “We look forward to onboarding the WFS team and welcoming their clients, knowing that the addition of their expert knowledge will help us fulfill our mission to accelerate our clients’ and associates’ goals.”
