The firm routinely earned the highest rating in peer reviews and was ranked a Regional Leader by Accounting Today and a top 300 firm by Inside Public Accounting.

“The Melanson team is highly regarded for their leadership, commitment to superior client service, and dedication to the highest industry standards. They ran a highly respected and accomplished firm, and we warmly welcome them to Marcum,” said Jeffrey M. Weiner, Marcum’s chairman & chief executive officer.

“Melanson grew over more than 40 years by providing clients with exceptional financial advice and services while fostering a challenging and rewarding environment for our employees. We’ve always believed that you can’t have one without the other, and this is what makes our future with Marcum so bright. We share an absolute commitment to individual and collective success that will benefit our clients and our people right out of the starting gate,” said Scott G. Toothaker, Melanson’s managing principal and now Marcum’s office managing partner in New Hampshire.
