Duluth, GA-based CompliancePoint, a provider of risk management services focused on information security, data privacy, and regulatory compliance, will join Wipfli in a transaction expected to close on May 1, the top 25 accounting firm said on Thursday.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. Two partners and 52 associates will join Wipfli as part of the transaction.
This is Milwaukee-based Wipfli’s first M&A deal this year. The firm secured a minority investment from private equity firm New Mountain Capital last August.
