GREENSBORO/WILMINGTON, NC (October 2, 2019) –
DMJ & Co., PLLC, a certified public accounting and business consulting firm
with headquarters in Greensboro, announced today that the Wilmington, North
Carolina firm of Miller & Company Certified Public Accountants, P.C. will
become DMJ & Co., PLLC. Miller & Company will assume the DMJ
name, effective November 1.
Miller &
Company has been a staple in the Wilmington
region since 1993 serving the accounting needs of small businesses and
individuals. By joining with DMJ, the Wilmington office will continue to
serve clients in the Coastal Cape Fear area with the added resources of a
larger firm. Miller & Company stockholders, Sandra A. Miller, CPA,
CFE and Rebecca A. Rhodes, CPA, will continue with the combined firm as
managers and managing shareholder, Gregory D. Miller, CPA, will become the DMJ
partner in charge of the Wilmington office. All CPA and staff positions will
remain. The combined firm will now employ more than 85 people, including 11
partners.
“When your name is on the door, as it has been for the past 25 plus
years, you take seriously your commitment to your clients and to the CPA
profession,” said Greg Miller. “We may change our name, but we will not change
how we serve our clients and treat our business partners. DMJ is a
client-centered firm that shares our values, our commitment to quality, and our
promise to our community.”
The expansion now means a DMJ presence in southeastern North
Carolina and the firm’s fourth office location in the state. DMJ also has
offices in Greensboro (the Triad), Durham (the Triangle), and Sanford (the
Sandhills). The DMJ Durham office was established in 2016 and the DMJ
Sanford office was opened in 1990. Founded in 1949, the firm is currently
celebrating its 70th anniversary. In 2019, DMJ was again recognized
as a Top 300 firm by Inside Public Accounting.
Mike Gillis, CPA/PFS, DMJ’s Managing Partner says, “As we
celebrate our 70th anniversary this year, we also remember to look
to the future and focus on DMJ’s vision ahead. We recognize the importance of
strategic growth that anticipates our clients’ needs, often times from
formation to succession and through very personal milestones. We are excited to
expand to the Coastal Cape Fear region and continue the legacy and commitment
of the Miller & Company team.”
Miller & Company has a long-standing relationship with
DMJ that spans more than twenty years. As a member of CPAConnect since
1998, DMJ was Miller & Company’s sponsoring CPAmerica, Inc. firm. CPAmerica, Inc., is one of the largest
associations of CPA firms in the United States. Through the affiliation
and close working relationship, the two firms have a history of working
together through consulting and various tax and accounting engagements. They
will continue to offer clients the personalized service of a local firm and the
knowledge and resources of a global network.
In addition, this merger also notes a new offering of
services to the region with DMJ’s experience in healthcare consulting and
wealth management (DMJ Wealth Advisors, LLC). Together, the firms will continue
to provide the traditional services with deeper practice areas in international
tax consulting, litigation support, succession planning, audit and reviews,
among others. Gillis notes, “Our people, our clients, and our community
continue to be our guiding principles. Through this relationship, we feel we
can add significant value.”
