Co-founder Frank Moran often referred to our firm as “a people firm disguised as an accounting firm.” Why? Because people are at the core of everything we do. At Plante Moran, business is never “just business” — it’s personal. It’s personal to our clients, and it’s personal to us. Our clients count on us to advance their businesses, chart new territories, build stronger strategies, and — most importantly — help support those who count on them. And with over 3,800 professionals in 23 locations across the Midwest, Rocky Mountain Region, and internationally — and a legacy that’s 100 years strong — we deliver. We’re proud to be one of the nation’s largest audit, tax, consulting, and wealth management firms. #PlanteMoranProud #GPTWcertified #CountOnUs
