"We are eager to introduce the specialists from RMA to our clients and referral sources and to having an office in Salt Lake City. Adding RMA transforms our Dispute Resolution and Litigation Support practice and provides new offerings in bankruptcy consulting, investigative accounting and divorce services," said Mark Santarsiero, President and CEO of Marshall & Stevens since 2000. "Public companies, private enterprises, investors, attorneys, accountants and insurance companies depend on M&S to provide high-quality, well-researched insights into a wide range of M&A, wealth transfer and investment transactions. The experts at RMA allow us to provide a broader portfolio of expertise to our clients and the trusted advisors who refer the majority of our work to us.
"Marshall & Stevens has had great success strategically investing in senior professionals from other firms and adding them to the collaborative and supportive Marshall & Stevens' platform to create a well-respected, high-growth practice. Several years ago, M&S dedicated itself to developing a renewable energy practice based upon a few key senior professionals with specialized experience in project finance, project development, and valuations for structured finance and cost segregation. Today, our Energy & Infrastructure ("E&I") practice is the second largest practice in our firm. E&I now serves as a vehicle to attract core financial and asset valuation services including repowering (80/20) analyses, quarterly financial reporting for infrastructure funds, purchase price allocations, impairment testing, easement and other real estate appraisals, and Fairness Opinions. The addition of RMA is the first step in the development of an expansive Marshall & Stevens Dispute Resolution and Investigations practice."
"Our team is excited to have joined Marshall & Stevens," said Matt Connors, ASA, CPA/ABV, CFE, Managing Director at RMA. "We can now offer our clients and referral sources more comprehensive valuation and appraisal services. Marshall & Stevens expands our offerings in valuations for private equity funds, US and international financial reporting, real estate and equipment valuations, and Fairness Opinions. We are pleased to partner with the variety of subject matter and sector experts at Marshall & Stevens to provide a broader portfolio of counsel to our clients as well as enhance our overall body of knowledge.
"I am happy to report to those who have relied on RMA's expert witness and investigative accounting services that our dedication to client service and excellence continues. The professionals at Marshall & Stevens are very similar to us."
