Our greatest accomplishment was strategic growth. Acquisition of two companies and establishing an additional office represent the culmination of thoughtful, engaging collaboration between like-minded professionals. The acquisition of Noonan & McDowell, Billerica and H.W. Moore Associates, Boston added locations and employees that serve diversification, strengthen client reach and ensure ample resources to meet needs of existing and future clients.
