Geoff Rowley, FRP CEO said: “This deal gives us an immediate presence in the Eastern region and bolsters our Corporate Finance and Forensic Services offering. The team have earned themselves a great reputation and we are excited about the contributions they will make to FRP.” As part of the transaction, all 16 employees will join FRP.
