Braver PC, a full-service regional accounting firm with offices in Needham, MA, and Providence, RI, has merged into Marcum LLP, a top national accounting and advisory firm, effective January 1. All three Braver divisions, including Accounting, Business Strategies and Valuation Services, joined Marcum.

Ranked among the top firms in New England, Braver offered accounting, tax, assurance, business and consulting services to family-owned and privately-held businesses, as well as not-for-profit and governmental organizations and individuals. The Firm specialized in supporting the evolving needs of businesses and organizations as they grow.

Fourteen Braver partners and over 100 staff have joined Marcum. By adding Braver’s Needham and Providence offices to the Firm, Marcum’s New England region now has six locations. The other New England offices include Boston and Raynham, MA; and Hartford and New Haven, CT.

“Braver’s deep experience and broad services capability in the private sector complement Marcum’s strengths both regionally and nationally and bring significant additional expertise to our organization,” said Jeffrey M. Weiner, Marcum’s Managing Partner. “Braver will be a valuable new resource for our clients and an important new asset to our New England practice.”

“Marcum’s national presence and extensive resources offer an opportunity for Braver to greatly expand the services we are able to offer our clients, while giving us the opportunity to integrate our experience into the service mix for Marcum clients. Our integration with Marcum also provides significant opportunity for growth and professional development for our staff,” said Dennis S. Pellecchia, who was Chairman, President & CEO of Braver PC. Mr. Pellecchia is now Partner-in-Charge of Marcum’s new Needham office.

“As a full-service firm and a regional leader, Braver will help strengthen our capabilities and expand our presence in New England. We are delighted to welcome Dennis Pellecchia and his team to Marcum,” said Anthony P. Scillia, Partner-in-Charge of Marcum’s New England region.
