SS&G Accounting Firm Opens Office in Chicago

CHICAGO, Jan. 17, 2012 (PRNewswire) -- Accounting firm SS&G today announced the opening of a downtown Chicago office to complement its nearby Des Plaines accounting office.

SS&G, Inc. is a full-service certified public accounting, business advisory, and management consulting firm encompassing assurance, tax, employee benefits, and restaurant financial services. It also provides a broad scope of services through its health care, wealth management, and payroll entities. It is a founding member firm of The Leading Edge Alliance, an international association of independently owned accounting and consulting organizations.

The new location comes one year after SS&G entered the Chicagoland marketplace through the merger with Ahlbeck & Co. Sixteen staff members from Russell Novak & Company LLP, including directors Richard Hanson, CPA; Robb Zerfass, CPA; and Barry Jay Epstein, Ph.D., CPA, join SS&G's more than 425 professionals, strengthening the firm's position as one of the region's preeminent certified public accounting and business advisory firms.

"A year ago, we determined we could achieve growth in areas of specialization, including restaurants, health care, real estate, contractors, manufacturers, and nonprofit organizations. Our bet paid off," said Gary S. Shamis, CPA, M.Acc., managing director of SS&G.

"Our business is growing, and the decision to add the downtown location was made to foster increasing opportunities. We are very pleased to welcome this group of outstanding professionals to the SS&G family and to continue to grow roots in the Chicagoland market."

SS&G is the 42nd largest CPA firm in the United States, according to Accounting Today. The firm operates offices in Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, and North Carolina, where it opened an office in October.
