"We have been fortunate in that we are experiencing a small increase in revenue and our bottom line has held up despite the stagnant economy. We believe that now is the opportune time to make investments that will pay off exponentially when the economy is in full recovery," Bill Hagaman, WS+B CEO and managing partner, told AccountingWEB.

 

Hagaman added that WS+B continues to speak to other firms; however there are no other expected mergers for 2010.
