Carr, Riggs & Ingram (CRI) Grows Again

Hoyman Dobson Merges with CRI in Central Florida Market

ENTERPRISE, AL - (November 9, 2011) – Hoyman Dobson CPAs has merged with Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC (CRI), the third largest accounting firm in the South. The Melbourne office will now operate under the name of Carr, Riggs & Ingram. This team unites with CRI’s current partners and staff in Winter Park, Florida, to form one of the largest accounting services providers in the Central Florida market.

Hoyman Dobson CPAs retains its current personnel and commitment to the Central Florida community while benefiting from the expertise of a regional accounting firm that delivers services to more than 45,000 clients across the South. The team will continue its 45-year track record of transforming the goals of dynamic individuals and organizations into reality.

“Becoming a part of a regional accounting firm benefits our clients, staff, and community,” states Charles “Chas” Hoyman, managing director of Hoyman Dobson CPAs. “Our clients will have access to the depth and breadth of accounting expertise of more than 650 CRI professionals, and our team members will enjoy additional technical and business leadership training opportunities—as well as specialized career paths.”

Currently ranked as the 32nd largest accounting firm nationally, CRI is on the move having now announced three mergers in various Southern states within the last two months. The now 28 current CRI offices are located throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas.

“CRI’s merger with Hoyman Dobson CPAs just makes sense,” according to William H. Carr, chairman and managing partner of CRI. “CRI is already one of the most widely accessible accounting resources in the state of Florida with offices throughout the Panhandle and Northeast, and this move enhances CRI’s depth of expertise in Central Florida. Additionally, the Hoyman team brings an expanded level of technical expertise—specifically in the governmental contracting consulting arena—that strengthens CRI’s service areas not only throughout Florida, but also our entire Southern footprint.”

CRI’s diverse industry specializations include construction companies, governmental entities, financial institutions, healthcare entities, not-for-profit organizations, and manufacturing and distribution companies.
