Toledo, Ohio (January 3, 2023) — Today, CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen LLP), the eighth largest accounting firm in the United States, announced that Ohio-based GJM (Gilmore Jasion Mahler, LTD) team members joined CLA on January 1, 2023, increasing the firm’s Toledo presence to 150 people.

As they did at GJM, the former GJM team members joining CLA will offer assurance, business and transaction advisory, outsourced accounting, risk advisory, and tax services across a spectrum of industries, including construction and real estate, health care, manufacturing and distribution, nonprofit, private equity, and utilities.
