Merger of accounting firms creates a bigger, stronger Stone

Lexington, Mass. – Oct. 1 — Two successful regional accounting firms have merged to form a single firm with enhanced capabilities and expertise. Stone & Company, LLC of Lexington and RS Miller & Associates, LLC of Dedham have combined forces and will retain the Stone & Company name. Rob Miller, the founder of RS Miller, will lead the newly expanded Stone & Company as its managing partner.   

“This is an exciting merger of two outstanding firms that perfectly complement each other. It’s a match made in heaven,” said Miller. “We have united a talented team servicing a varied and impressive roster of clients. And there’s even greater potential to grow from here.” 

Stone, a full-service, 33-year-old firm, has deep roots in Eastern Massachusetts. Founded by brothers Phil and Matt Stone, the firm has steadily expanded, building a large and loyal roster of clients, with a specialty in educational institutions and other nonprofits. Both Phil and Matt will remain active in new, combined firm.

Miller brings almost 25 years of experience assisting companies throughout New England with complex accounting issues, as well as SOC reporting, due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, internal control reviews, forensic accounting and litigation support. He recently was elected to serve the board of directors as the vice chairman of the finance committee at the Massachusetts Society of CPAs for 2019-2020 fiscal year.

“One of our key differentiators will be our deep audit and attest background – it’s extremely strong, especially for a firm our size,” said Miller. “That, along with our expanded tax expertise, makes us an excellent solution for private entities and non-profits throughout the New England market.”
