Boatsman Gillmore Merger Closed


Congratulations to Scale Finance’s friends and colleagues at CPA firms Boatsman Gillmore and Wagner Noble & Company for successfully closing their merger as of November 1st. SF was pleased to provide advisory support for the transaction.

Nowadays, people looking for boat loans know that it can get quite difficult to find low-interest financing these days, mainly because there are a number of restrictions when it comes to boat financing. Lenders are very conservative and strict about a boat’s age, model, and even its location, in order to reduce their financial risk in case a borrower defaults on their loan.

From the The Partners and Associates of Boatsman Gillmore PLLC –

We are pleased to announce our merger with Wagner Noble & Company effective November 1, 2012. Our evolved firm will be known as Boatsman Gillmore Wagner, PLLC, and will have offices in Charlotte and the Huntersville-Lake Norman area.

Our firm began its professional practice in 2006. Our growth has been predominantly organic, stemming from the referrals from clients and other professionals in addition to relationships forged through trade and civic organizations. The growth and development of our professional staff has evolved in a similar manner. We have attracted high-quality, committed professionals and invested in their training, development and growth.

We conducted an extensive search in pursuit of a firm that could complement our team and allow us to provide greater service and value to our clients. In Wagner Noble we found a great match, a firm with similar values and a sterling reputation for service over its 30 years of doing business in the Charlotte region.

 

What changes will this merger bring to our firm and operations?

  • This merger will allow us to expand our assurance services (audits, reviews, and compilations) while maintaining the advisory and tax practices that have been a part of our client-relationship model.
  • Clients will continue to work with the same people in our firm that they have in the past.
  • All of our people are being retained in their current roles. We do anticipate introducing you to some of our team members over the next year.
  • Our fee structure will not change.
  • The services we have provided you in the past will continue.
  • We will be consolidating office space in the near future. We anticipate utilizing Wagner Noble & Company’s South Park office and retaining our Huntersville office as our W. Morehead lease has expired.
  • Our existing phone numbers will continue to be the ones you will use to contact us.
  • Our e-mail addresses will change. The convention for those addresses is [first initial][last name]@trustbgw.com.

 

If you have any questions about this exciting news and what it will mean for you, please contact any of us at any time. We look forward to introducing you to some of our new partners and associates.

We are grateful to you not only for giving us the opportunity to provide you with accounting services but for your loyalty and friendship, which have enriched our relationship. We are confident that our new affiliation will serve us all well.
