Over the last five years, the Firm has added outsourced Chief Information Officer (CIO) services, Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit services and outsourced Chief Financial Officer (CFO) services; continued to grow its human resources (HR) consulting practice; and formed Brown Plus Transitions, an entity focused on business valuations, litigation support, exit planning and merger and acquisition (M&A) advisory services. In addition, the Firm partnered with Lighthouse Wealth Management in 2020 to provide clients with wealth management services.
