A Message From BBD's Not-For-Profit Group Managing Partner, Adam Watson:

BBD is well known for our Not-For-Profit and Government Group’s unique dedication to the accounting, audit and tax needs of our more than 500 clients.  BBD has a separate practice area dedicated to the service of the investment management industry.  We have announced today that this practice area, BBD’s Investment Management Group, is being acquired by Cohen & Company. 

While we are pleased for our friends in the firm’s Investment Management Group and excited for their next chapter,  it’s very important to note that this acquisition will not impact any of our not-for-profit or government clients.  No partners or staff who serve not-for-profit or government clients are involved in this transaction.  Please be assured that the team that serves your organization today will not change as a result of this acquisition.

A Message From BBD's Investment Management Group Managing Partner, Jim Kaiser:

We are pleased to announce the exciting news that our firm’s Investment Management Group will be acquired by Cohen & Company (Cohen). 

Many of our clients and industry friends are familiar with the team at Cohen.  Like many of you, we’ve respected and followed the firm closely for two decades.  We’ve competed heartily against one another and in some cases along the way have served common clients as well.  We’ve also always known that we share an unwavering focus on relationships and quality.

And so, after months of discussions and thoughtful consideration, we find the opportunity to join forces with a firm that shares so many of our values, goals and vision for the future to be compelling.

An important part of life at BBD is paying forward our own good fortune and acting on our responsibility to those with need in our communities. In the spirit of community, our firm sponsors hands-on service opportunities each month. Each project provides positive impact for those in need as well as an opportunity for collaboration and teambuilding. We truly value our opportunities to give back and support our communities in meaningful acts of service. We are thankful for the continuous opportunities to serve our communities. As we prepare for a new year, we are reflecting on another meaningful year of service.
