DENVER — EKS&H, a Denver-based accounting firm with operations in Fort Collins and Boulder, has completed a merger with Detroit-based Plante Moran.

The combined company is now the 11th largest accounting, tax, consulting and wealth management firm in the nation.

How dispatchable resources enable the clean energy transition

Platte River must prepare for the retirement of 431 megawatts (MW) of dispatchable, coal-fired generation by the end of the decade and address more frequent extreme weather events that can bring dark calms (periods when there is no sun or wind).

The firm, founded in 1978, also has two offices in Denver and one in San Francisco and employs a total of roughly 750 people company-wide.

Plante Moran has about 2,300 employees in offices in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Japan, India and Mexico.

In 2017, the two companies had combined revenues of $626 million.

To celebrate the merger, Plante Moran is hosting a charity contest called Plante Moran Cares. The contest will award $30,000 to three Colorado non-profit organizations.

“The fact that we’re a larger and stronger firm only strengthens our commitment to our staff and our community,” Joe Bertsch, managing partner of Plante Moran’s Rocky Mountain region, said in a prepared statement. “We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate the combination of our two firms than by giving back to a community that’s given much to us throughout the years.”

Nominations will be accepted through Oct. 11. For more information and to register, visit plantemoran.com/cares.
