“As Wiss continues to fulfill its vision, we are focusing on mergers that present us with strategic opportunities to enhance our practice. In keeping with that focus, I am very pleased to announce that we merged the firm of Cust, Dori & Benick (CDB) into Wiss, giving us an even greater presence across the state of New Jersey and into the eastern portion of Pennsylvania,” said Jeff Campo, Managing Partner, Wiss & Company, LLP. “This merger will also enable us to expand our focus on core niche practice areas, such as real estate and construction, while enhancing our capabilities in the sports entertainment arena as well.”
The merger, which was effective January 1, 2011, joined together four CDB partners and ten accounting professionals and administrative support staff with the 26 partners and more than 160 staff members currently on the Wiss team.
“This merger brings Wiss and our clients two major assets. One is the CDB partners, Jack Cust, Bruno Dori, Frank Benick and Mike Petrecca, all of whom have earned an excellent reputation during their long history of serving clients in New Jersey,” Campo said. “The second is the talented group of CDB staff members who will also be joining us. All of these individuals share our values and an operating philosophy based on communication, teamwork and integrity.”
