SAN JOSE, Calif. - Dec. 10, 2024 - PRLog -- PP&Co, a leading provider of accounting, tax, and advisory services, announced today that Delucchi Hawn, LLP has joined the firm, effective December 1.

The transaction combines the resources, technical expertise, and talent of two regional leaders noted for their people-first cultures and commitment to service excellence.

"This is about more than growth. By joining forces with Delucchi Hawn, we are not only expanding our capabilities, but also reinforcing our commitment to exceptional client service and deepening our investment in nurturing an environment where our people will thrive," said PP&Co CEO Phuong Mayer.

"Joining forces with PP&Co allows us to provide our staff with the resources and tools of a larger firm while preserving the close-knit, supportive culture we cherish," said Delucchi Hawn partner Peter Malutta. "Our clients will benefit from our broader expertise and capabilities, with the same personal relationships and individualized service that have always been the hallmarks of our firm. It's the perfect balance between growth and staying true to who we are."

Delucchi Hawn specializes in the construction, real estate, software, and manufacturing industries. The firm adds 14 professionals, including 3 partners, to PP&Co. The team will continue to serve its clients under the PP&Co banner, ensuring a seamless transition.

PP&Co has been consistently honored by ClearlyRated for exceptional client service. It was named a 2024 Regional Leader by Accounting Today and one of the Bay Area's "Best Places to Work" by the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal.

PP&Co is a partner firm on the Ascend platform, backed by people-focused private equity firm Alpine Investors. Ascend's platform enables regional accounting firms with strong leadership, great cultures, and a bold vision to remain independent while accessing the sophisticated resources of a larger firm to overcome the challenges of the traditional CPA partnership model and reach their full potential.
