Akron accounting and wealth management firm BCG & Co. is getting a new owner to go along with its new headquarters that just broke ground off White Pond Drive.
Illinois-based Sikich is purchasing BCG, according to a news release early Tuesday evening. The deal is expected to close by June 1. BCG as of late Tuesday afternoon was still in the process of notifying its clients.
BCG will remain in Akron under the name Sikich and will move into the 34,500-square-foot building later this year at White Pond Office Park.
BCG is made up of Brockman, Coats, Gedelian & Co., BCG Systems Inc. and BCG Wealth Advisors LLC.
This will be the third Akron-area accounting firm to be purchased by a much larger business in recent history.
Akron firm Bruner Cox on June 1 will merge with CliftonLarsonAllen LLP
Also, Bath Township-based accounting firm SS&G was purchased in early 2015 by global accounting firm BDO.
