Anders + Summit: A Merger Story

Visions For The Future

It’s all these little things that set Summit apart from other firms and have allowed us to experience the growth and the profitability we’ve seen. And that’s what drew Anders to us. I truly believe that all the partners at Anders see the big picture and are just as excited as I am to find out what we can do together.

The industry is moving toward what Summit has been doing for years. Honestly, it has been for some time. However, it’s been a slow grind, as accountants aren’t traditionally cutting edge. As a result, it’s taken a long time for the industry to catch up to us. I wouldn’t say it’s quite there yet, but it’s getting close. We’re at the forefront of this shift, and I’m looking forward to continuing to plow ahead and figure out what the next chapter will look like for the industry and to be a big part of that, especially with Anders. We’re even bigger than before, and I think it presents a lot of opportunities to make sure that we’re always on the forefront of changing the industry, which has been our mission with Summit since its inception. In the accounting industry, the traditional career path has always been to start young, put your time in, pay your dues, and eventuallyget promoted. However, young people coming out of college aren’t willing to do that. The culture has to change across the entire spectrum of accounting. Young people aren’t looking to do those compressed tax or audit season hours, where the team is working 70 or 80 hours a week in a three- or four-month period.

Summit is a platform company, meaning we could take this platform anywhere and be successful with it. Bringing Anders into our platform allows both firms to set records within the industry beyond our wildest dreams.”
