Bolar Hirsch Jennings LLP is now Armanino

On June 1, 2019 Bolar Hirsch & Jennings joined Armanino. This transaction expands Armanino into Orange County and builds on the firm’s existing presence in Southern California.

“Bolar Hirsch & Jennings is a highly specialized tax firm with an amazing group of people and will put us in the hub of Orange County, where they have created a successful and trusted brand for nearly 30 years,” said Matt Armanino, CEO of Armanino. “Armanino has been strategically investing in the Southern California market to ensure we can better serve the market with an expanded geographic footprint that covers all the major hubs in the region. With this addition, we will now have a total of five offices throughout Southern California.”

Bolar Hirsch & Jennings’ robust tax practice includes specialization in high-net-worth individuals, real estate and corporate tax solutions. This expertise is complemented by Armanino’s existing ability to serve individuals with a full family-office offering and businesses with expanded tax expertise and audit, consulting and technology solutions. The transaction brings value to individual tax clients looking for greater depth of expertise and a full suite of household finance solutions, and to Orange County-based companies that can take advantage of a wider set of available solutions to assist businesses at any stage of their lifecycle, from startup to wind-down.

“Our focus on driving the best results for clients is why Bolar Hirsch & Jennings is a top accounting firm in Orange County, and joining with Armanino will allow us to bring even more solutions to clients that will make their lives easier and optimize their business operations,” said David Hirsch, co-managing partner at Bolar Hirsch & Jennings. “This transaction not only expands our capabilities, but gives clients access to a large network of experts, including a real estate team well versed in real estate investment trusts (REITs), private equity funds and audit capabilities for all real estate businesses.”

“Bolar Hirsch & Jennings is a top-flight firm in Orange County with a stellar reputation for its client service and acuity in niche tax matters,” said Allan Koltin, CEO of Koltin Consulting Group, who advised both firms. “With this agreement, Armanino is extremely well positioned throughout Southern California.”

The former Bolar Hirsch & Jennings team will continue to operate from its Irvine, California office at 18101 Von Karman Avenue, 14th floor. Clients will experience no disruption of services during the transition.

Armanino’s strong growth is anchored in its pursuit of expanded service lines, technology solutions and specialized expertise. The firm has been listed on Inside Public Accounting’s Best of the Best Managed Firms list for 17 out of the last 18 years and is regularly featured in best places to work lists.
