Batesville, In. — Officials at the accounting firm Agresta, Storms & O’Leary PC (ASO) recently announced that they had merged with Lanning CPA Group PC. Owner Jayne Lanning CPA and her associate, Barbara Fowler, will join the Batesville office of ASO on January 1, 2019.
ASO and Lanning CPA Group have earned a reputation for delivering superior service to a wide range of clients in southeastern Indiana and throughout the state. Together as one firm, ASO will serve an expanded client base, delivering a broad suite of tax, accounting and business consulting services.
“I decided to seek a merger with another firm because I believe that a larger organization will provide clients with a wider array and more depth of service offerings while leveraging the growing costs of technology, regulation, and other investments necessary to provide high quality professional services,” stated Jayne Lanning, owner of Lanning CPA Group, PC.
“We are very excited to welcome Jayne and Barbara to Agresta, Storms and O’Leary.
