Marcum’s track record for growth has been staggering. They continue to be the envy of the profession while attracting best-in-class local and regional CPA and advisory firms to combine with. They might have $1 billion of revenue on the top line, but the bottom line is it’s a culture where you can achieve a really successful career and deliver amazing services to clients along the way.”
