JUNE 4, 2015 -- Kruggel Lawton CPAs, along with Brian Alwine, president of ClarityBV, Inc., have announced they are teaming up for the delivery of business valuation services. This combination of broad technical/industry expertise creates a leading firm in northern Indiana/southwest Michigan for business valuations. Alwine will continue to focus exclusively on business valuations and related litigation support.

“I enjoyed the challenge of starting my own firm and greatly appreciate the support of my clients and referral sources over the past seven years,” Alwine said. “Operating independently, however, created some personal and business constraints. By teaming up with Kruggel Lawton, I’ll be able to provide a higher level of support and personal touch on each project.”

“Brian is a well-respected business valuation expert with a strong regional reputation and referral networks outside of the Michiana area. Working together allows us to expand our firm’s growing valuation practice and strengthen our business valuation expertise,” said Kruggel Lawton Partner Doug Osthimer, CPA, CVA, CGMA.
