DuCharme, McMillen & Associates (DMA), a US-based corporate tax services practice, has bought the assets of Barron Corporate Tax Solutions, a property tax advisory business based in Chicago.
Financial details of the deal have not been disclosed.
Barron works with a broad spectrum of companies on property tax matters, providing both compliance support and advisory services.
It focuses on managing business property tax obligations including preparing and filing compliance documentation, reviewing valuations and handling appeals, with the aim of ensuring clients are not over-assessed.
Barron Corporate Tax Solutions president Todd Barron said: “Joining DMA allows us to provide our clients with access to broader resources and a deeper bench of expertise while continuing to deliver the personalised service they expect.
“Together, we can offer a more comprehensive set of solutions to help our clients navigate property tax challenges with confidence.”
DMA said the deal “strengthens” its North American Property Tax practice by extending its consulting and compliance capabilities, and increasing the level of support available to its client base.
By combining Barron’s “hands-on, client focused approach” with DMA’s broader platform and technical resources, the merged operation is expected to assist organisations across the property tax life cycle, including assessment reviews, valuation, compliance work, audit defence and strategic advisory mandates.
DMA president and CEO Dan Hutmacher said: “Barron Corporate Tax Solutions brings a strong, client-centric approach to property tax advisory and compliance that aligns well with DMA’s client service philosophy.
“This acquisition expands our ability to support clients with day-to-day compliance needs while also identifying opportunities to reduce tax exposure and improve overall efficiency.”
DMA’s existing service portfolio covers credits and incentives, global tax technology, property tax, transaction tax, unclaimed property and VAT.
Last month, DMA acquired assets of property tax consultancy Cost Containment Advisors.
“DMA acquires Chicago-based Barron Corporate Tax Solutions” was originally created and published by International Accounting Bulletin, a GlobalData owned brand.
