The CPA firm Carr, Riggs, & Ingram (CRI) is expanding into North Alabama through a merger with the firm Crabtree, Rowe & Berger.
CRI was founded in Enterprise in 1997 and now serves 30 markets across 10 states. The firm, which is one of the 20 largest accounting firms in the nation and the fastest growing in the top 100, provides full-service accounting services and operates eight portfolio companies.
“Expanding our footprint into northern Alabama is a vital part of our strategic plan,” stated William H. Carr, chairman and managing partner of CRI.
Before merging with CRI, the Huntsville-based Crabtree, Rowe & Berger was named to a list of America’s Fastest-Growing Companies in 2019.
“The Crabtree, Rowe & Berger offices in Huntsville, along with our other Alabama locations, help leverage the strength of our combined teams and resources to enhance our client service delivery and technical expertise. We are excited about positioning CRI into this dynamic growth market,” Carr added.
Allan Koltin advised both firms on the merger. He commented on the deal, saying, “This merger is tremendous for CRI given the incredible growth that the Huntsville market is experiencing. Though Crabtree, Rowe & Berger is based in Huntsville, they have gained a national reputation for their extraordinary consulting and advisory practice. These two firms will experience impressive success from their combined offerings.”
